WATCHING STARS

It is June already. Wednesday night Nancy and I sat in her swing and watched the stars come out. It stays light late and they were slow to come out. I finally saw the Big Dipper and waited until more stars showed up. I was looking for satellites or the Space Station, or even one shooting star but none came into my limited vision.

We are back on our schedule of being in Cross Plains on Saturday to get ready for SS and church and staying through Kiwanis when we go back to Granbury. Nancy spent yesterday morning mowing her lawn and even mowing some new paths through her forest. We walked those paths this morning looking for the limb clippers she had lost off the mower yesterday. Found them along with two golf balls back in the trees. This place was a deer lease when it was a ranch and I guess it was used for golf practice.

We are going through the process of getting a new preacher for the Methodist church. I will serve as Worship Leader for the 19th when we have Bonita Horton, our own lay speaker preach and for June 26 when our new preacher preaches his first sermon.

I went to the Brownwood District meeting to explain the Central Texas Annual Conference and they mentioned that there would be two resolutions, one that is Jim Senkel's resolution to teach creation science as well as evolution. I commented to the group that their vote was important and left some hand-outs that I prepared arguing against evolution and for teaching creation science. I was greeted with blank stares and only one person commented that he supported me. Last year my resolution that was more strongly worded was turned down. Jim is toning his down to argue that both are theories that should be taught equally. I hope that his approach works but the committee recommended denying the resolution. We will see what happens. At least we are making them think about their vote.
