Check In - 4/27

We had an interesting day at FBC McKinney. We cancelled church services this morning so that the entire church could participate in mission/service projects around Collin County. Our family decorated small flower pots & planted flowers to take to nursing home residents. I forget how much elder people & children enjoy each other.

Tonight we had a missions banquet. When each family arrived they were given their tickets, and the color of the ticket determined your "class" in society. Upper class enjoyed linens, china & a full meal served to them. Middle class served themselves beans, rice, a roll, and some beef, with paper plates & plasticware. Lower class was given a bowl of rice & beans and had room temp brownish water to drink. It was quite the object lesson.

1. Time of service this AM. Wonderful worship & learning tonight.
2. 29 of 29 pts.
3. No real exercise.
4. Water/vita/synthroid - yep

Have a good week!

so which tickets did you all get?

We were middle class - the very last people to get middle class tickets. And they were charging $1 per person, but we were told our tickets were already paid for by someone. I know the people in front of us paid. It was a very interesting social experiment.

I suspected that it would be something like that & had eaten an apple & some carrots before we went - just in case.
