some great contributions from everybody. I especially liked the story of the Presbyterians who replaced the stained windows with Jesus images but then gave those back to the Baptists. I'm going to ask my friend who was a builder what he would have done in that situation, assuming he had a choice. W...

Jerz, did ya’ll ever ride in cars around the neighborhood at the beginning of VBS honking your horns and yelling out the windows, “Come to vacation Bible school!” Maybe that was just a Methodist thing.

You can get lots of washing, drying, and folding done between chapters. I love seeing you happy.

I found myself, as I watched it, counting up how old some of you guys were when this happened.
