Free Afternoon in Montreat

Today we had a free afternoon; so we decided that we would venture up to Asheville. We did some window shopping around town and we found the Mast General Store and we just had to look around. I left there with my pockets a pound and a half heavier. In the Mast General Store there were barrels after barrels of candy which I was unable to resist. We then proceeded to continue our journey in Asheville for the next four hours. On the way back to Montreat we were serenaded by the Forest Hills Church youth members that were singing to the songs on the radio. We got back to Montreat and had a little bit of time to get ready for communion. We were all putting on our best clothes and headed town to communion. It was a wonderful service to be a part of. The minister talked about his saints that he uses as mentors. These were people that in some way or another truly impacted his life. He asked us to think about who some of our saints are. His saints were Martin Luther King Jr., Dorthy Day, and Oscar Romero. When communion ended we went back to what we have been doing all week... playing rummy.

yours truly
