My mom died without ever using her china. She would always say 'I'll get it out when and only when the president comes to dinner'. So sad. It's made 4 moves with only one cup getting broken. I was able to find a replacement on Ebay and yes, once a year I get it out and use it and no, the president has yet to show up for dinner. I have no idea who I will pass it on to.
I'll try to get caught up at some point. Today was the monthly meeting of our HAM club..
Something happened there today and I'm hoping I can get y'all's opinion of if what happened would make you a bit uncomfortable. The club is public, multi county, not held in a church but in a county training center. Today the club president asked another person to lead the group in an opening prayer. I am a person of faith, safe to say that most there are.But my faith is a private thing that I choose to show in charitable acts towards others.
There is a small group in the club that is of a faith that isn't of my own choosing and this is the group that is doing this. Others have confided that they are uncomfortable by the 'opening of the meeting with a prayer'. It might be considered a nice touch but what if not everyone is Christian? What if there is a Hebrew there? Is there a time and place for such things? People have told me that they wish they wouldn't do that and that in deed, there is a time and place, like the beginning of a meal, etc for prayer but not at the beginning of a public meeting.
What do you think?
