Golfing today
I had my second golfing lesson this week. My son and I are going to be golfing this afternoon at Smiley's, near the church. He says it's an easy beginner's course. I'll believe that if it has an automatic ball-hitter on each hole. I will be leaving as soon as I hit the "Send" button for this newsletter.
Terry Bahadur, our class leader, will be out of town this weekend. I think he and Cris are going to Springfield, Illinois to visit the home of Abraham Lincoln. The school teacher still wants to learn. Bill Fitzherbert will fill in for Terry on Sunday, leading the class opening of prayer requests and praises.
