The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways

We knew it was coming.  We have been holding our breath and turning out the lights each time we hear a car on the drive--and checking the caller ID before committing to answering the phone.  Finally, this Wed at 11:19 am our diligence paid off as the answering machine screened the call:

"I'm calling for Pastor to mention that he didn't get a chance to shake your hand on Easter Sunday. So he is wondering if anyone in your family is ill or hospitalized are if everything is well employmentwise or with your family in general. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Pastor here at Peace Lutheran Church [if not then we hope these events will soon unfold so as to give you a legitimate reason to pass the collection plate this coming week]."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Gallagher family achieved "Shut in" status. 

This Christmas I expect we will have some of the youth group swinging by to pray for us and drop off a Poinsettia, and this time next year we will eagerly be awaiting our new Easter Lily (both of which will kill our cats).


Just when you thought the St Louisers couldn't get any classier I managed to snap a photo of our Walgreens this past weekend.

    Oh, that's right -- that's it -- St. Louisers! That's what you call nasty people of S.Lo.Mo.!

    About the Walgreens -- isn't that something of an advancement for S.Lo.Mo? I think MO typically disallows beer sales at convenient locations. I love that beer sales are probably easier to make, with less hassle and registration of customers, than is nasal congestion relief. Does MO force people to register with the pharmacist every time they purchase a nasal decongestant? I suspect so.

    Cya!
