He gave the sermon at my dad's funeral...and brought up my dad's occupation, which was a plumber. I don't recall the specifics, but I know that a toilet was fondly mentioned in his eulogy!Dorene from Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371522353987796175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657901541325041898.post-35018633450624692252011-08-04T12:16:39.157-04:002011-08-04T12:16:39.157-04:00Dorene - This reminded me of home.

Feeding the farmhands and the men who traveled around sheering sheep.<br /><br />I wonder, does the minister still stop by to visit in today's world?

It's always interesting to learn another perspective of an event.

Or did someone cut him a piece and walk away with the rest of the pie still on the table? I'm not sure I could be trusted not to at least eat TWO pieces if the pie were still there and I was alone with it, LOL!Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.com
