How do you like my tan?
Millie and I just got back from an incredible Florida vacation and I am still the whitest white man I know! I love Florida. I love the sun. But since I am the whitest white man I know, I can not be in the sun for very long. That’s why you have seen me wearing that dorky hat at The Fall Festival and other church events. That was probably more info than you wanted about my tanning life. Anyway, Millie and I went on a Carnival Cruise. I have been on several cruises – some better than others – but never a bad one. This one was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. We saw Blue Man Group at Universal Studios in Orlando. If you are kind of wierd (as you all know I am), please do not miss a chance to see Blue Man Group.
Here are a few odds and ends from Whitley Church & The Bridge:
2. A huge shout out to our vets. THANK YOU for protecting our freedom and “standing on the wall” so we can enjoy life in this greatest of all nations on earth!!!
3. Though we may not necessarily agree with his policies, we commit to pray for our new president-elect Barack Obama. To all of our African-American members and attenders, I can only imagine the joy and celebration you must feel to know that the United States of America elected an African-American as president. We are very happy for you as we all experience the breakthrough of this racial barrier in our great country!
