And so it continues....

Ok, so we knew today would be a busy day.... plans to go to Broom's Apple Festival with the family and some friends, drive to Mt. Vernon to our hotel, then to the Gospel Sing in Odin, to supper, and back to our hotel in Mt. Vernon to sleep before going to church in Odin again where Paul is speaking.

The day seemed to be going fine. We had a great time at the apple festival... we picked apples, ate pork chops, and had some apple cider. The drive to Mt. Vernon wasn't too bad... there was no fighting from the back seats (which is nothing short of a miracle!). Got to our hotel...rooms are fine. We debated on whether to eat dinner before church tonight or after. We had plenty of time to do it before. It was only 4:30 and Paul said the service starts at 7. We decided to wait to eat until afterwards. Since Mt. Vernon is about 30 minutes from Odin, we left the hotel around 6:20, which would give us plenty of time to get there ON TIME! Paul put the address into the GPS and off we went. Thirty minutes later, however, we couldn't find the church. The address took us to the baptist church in town. By the time we found the church and parked it was 7:03....3 minutes late, again! As we got into the front door of the church, I saw a sign on the door that said Gospel Sing 6:00 PM!!!!! UGH!!! We went from being early, to three minutes late to an hour and three minutes late all in a matter of 15 minutes! It must be one of my giftings....tardiness! I could think of a few others I would rather have, but as my son always says, "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" And so it continues....
