Now I'm resting in bed, window up, and the sun pouring in. The girls are in the backyard being silly, swinging and playing with Romeo, the puppy. Just livin'.
Will put together a meat pie later on. Doesn't sound very appetizing when I say it like that, but it's, pretty much, a pasty in a pie shell. Gary's mom used to make pasties when we'd visit them, but cutting/setting up all those rounds of dough make my head spin. One rectangular pie with ground beef, potatoes and onions with seasoning is complicated enough for me. Pass the brown gravy, and it's dinner.
Not much going on this evening. Might begin working on my skirt---have had the fabric so long, I'm surprised it's not decayed. Seriously. I want to wear something new to my confirmation on Sunday. There's a reception afterward and second son (who's preaching elsewhere that day) bought a couple of pork roasts for us to have a nice dinner that night. A celebration for surviving the stress of all of it. I'm only half kidding!
Oh, here's an interesting bit of trivia for those of you who are Presbyterian, especially PCA (and I know there are several of you who drop in here). The bishop, who will perform the confirmations is a former PCA pastor. His church turned from that denomination to the REC (Reformed Episcopal Church). They actually switched. I find that amazing, especially considering the other PCA churches here and how firm they are in their teachings. Anyway, thought that was interesting enough to share. Btw, the REC is a very conservative branch of the church, and the one I go to is REC as well. As further info., the Anglicans adhere to the 39 Articles of Religion which were written in the 1500's. Love the history here, and Article XXII, pretty much, hits the nail on the head in regards to the Anglican view of Catholicism.
It says: "The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping, and Adoration as well of Images as of Reliques, and also invocation of Saints, is a fond thing vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God."
Just what's on my mind...
