Thursday afternoon

Got up just in time to go to church (if I had stickers, I'd give myself a star!).  And in an interesting turn of events, I was the only one there besides the rector.  That made me the reader, which means I read the Scripture while we did the Daily Prayer.  So cool.  Nervous? Yes.  But the rector is such a nice person...we're about the same age and seem to relate pretty well.  All good.  And since it was just the two of us, I was able to pick his brain about some Anglican stuff I was curious about.

He said that a lot of folks who are coming to the Anglican church are tired of the more modern styles of worship with what I was talking about recently.  Hymns are gaining popularity again, as is old-school worship (well, I called it old-school, but it fits).  It's been done this way for hundreds of years and that has its own appeal.

In other topics, just looked at the videos for the stitch-a-long I'm doing...first class today (see sidebar).  But must move on to mothering tasks.  Time to cook the potatoes for potato salad and we'll do hamburgers as well.  Will pull out my fabric and threads after dinner.  It's been a good day. :)
