Another volunteer day

I took Metro Access (the DC para transit system for people who have disabilities) to church this morning and folded bulletins. That was fine, because it needed to be done, and because it really got me thinking about David and belief and I knew that David would have wanted me to do it be cause he was so devoted to making sure that church succeeds (and Lord knows that what they need now is secretarial help!) (Actually, what they very much need is musical help. Let's just say that the music program ain't what it used to be! Which is really too bad, because the congregation really loved the stellar program!)

It was also fun because there were so many beautiful spring flowers and blooming trees on the way. For some reason, on the way back the driver took local Rt 7 rather than the highway, so I got to see lots of countryside. There was a very devout "church lady" there changing paraments, and there was a beautiful purple flowered tree right outside the window, and I was saying how sad it was that the flowers didn't last long, and she said she thought the fact that they died and came back the next year was God's way of reminding us of hope and Resurrection. I or couse, responded that I'd always thought that the fact that the flowers didn't last long was, instead, the reason God had invented cameras. She laughed, thank goodness!
