his garden. I cooked them. Yes, you read that right. I cooked
them. Fried bacon and then poured it on the beans. Life is good.
Friends gave me a cake last night, inscribed "John the Fire Marshall"
in honor of my fire bucket sermon. I was also given a booklet of fire
engine stickers.
I am wearing my oldest tie today. It was given to me on the
bicentennial July 4, 1976. It is too thick for a Double Windsor. I
had to humble myself and do a Single Windsor, a fashion misstep for

Yesterday's patriotic services were excellent. Thanks Kevin, choir,
orchestra, Second Act, and media. I love being the Pastor at Second.
