Preach it, sister, preach it

The sermon today went off without a hitch. The call committee folks found the eensy weensy church without any problem and the locals welcomed them warmly. I didn't think my sermon was my best work, but the eensy weensy church folks, who'd be completely honest if it sucked, told me I "hit a home run." The Matriarch said with a mixture of excitement (for me) and disappointment (for herself), "They're nuts about you." This came after she spent some time telling the call committee folks what a "gem" I am. Man...I gotta remember to pay those folks before I leave town! ;)

One of the call committee members became teary during the sermon and prayers - C always says my best sermons drive others to tears. I think that's a good thing... The other call committee member asked me if I'd accept the call if it was offered and I said, "Yes!" We then began talking about the houses for sale in the area and which neighborhoods were the best.

After church, I learned how to put a video online (so the other call committee members could see a sermon sample), and then I promptly spent the rest of the day watching old home movies and attempting to figure out how to put my archaic Handycam memories onto my fairly new Viao (let's just say the solution involved two trips to Radio Shack and isn't cheap...).

Tuesday, my name goes before the council. This is starting to get kinda strange.
