One of the things that I dearly love about the UMC is that communion is offered to anyone who desires to be served, regardless of religious affiliation. Car troubles and dog duty kept me home from church today but I watched online as Mary Beth went through every part of the communion liturgy with us and broke it down as she does with confirmands. She remarked about the passing of the peace " You either love it or you hate it." It is a touchy feely kind of opportunity to make things right with someone that you have unresolved conflicts with or just an expression of love for your fellow Christians. "In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven" precedes the passing of the peace. This liturgy brings us to the Lord's table forgiven and at ease to accept grace.
Potty training is not going so well here with Roe but I will hang in there with her. It's a new place and new rules so it will take time. I need a crate to train her but haven't been able to get out and buy one because, uh, the car. It's raining today, finally. That will save Joey some money on the water bill for the irrigation system and maybe save my unwatered flowers.
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it ^j^
