So close your eyes and tell me.......

[baptisthac]

I see bus workers  sneaking into the service just before the offering in the evening service .

Yes, many HAC student bus workers would make it back to the evening service just in time from theIr routes.  Many did settle in and were soon asleep. And yes, this was especially a certainty for those nights that you were assigned to the mezzanine!

Tonight, after eating out, I participated in some heartfelt shopping at Costco,  After arriving at home, I settled in and was soon asleep on the couch.  :

After preaching services, we are required to eat, followed a nap. It'a one of those man-made standards no one gripes about.

Amen.

Raider,

I can close my eyes and think of you drooling when we sat in the 'rack.'

He was drooling because he was dreaming of CF.  He often mumbled her name during mezzarack times. 

Do you remember when Dr. Hyles said, "Hey! You in the mezzanine.  Stop talking while I"m preaching!" 
Raider was the only one talking. 

True story.

Raider and I did not know each other in college.  I knew who he was, but I was a complete unknown around campus.  My husband and I have had the privilege to become good friends with his wife who is a saint and allows Raider to accompany her even though he often can be quite the embarrassment.  She truly deserves a great reward in heaven.  When we are privileged to spend time with her/them, we do enjoy Raider's antics. 

Seriously, my husband and I count both Mr. & Mrs. Raiders as dear friends and they are within the first 3 people (after family) with whom we share serious prayer requests.  Teri and Swamp Hag (I sure do miss her around here!) are among those as well. 

But rest assured!  He DESERVES the hard times we give him! (His wife pays us.)

Our then 15 or 16 year old son - who accompanied us once when we all went out - still talks about that funny guy and his long-suffering wife.

I'm just glad I could be an inspiration to the next generation.

I'm not certain he'd call you an inspiration. 

Old geezer?  Yes

Bald guy?  Yes, if he's in a particularly ornery man-child mood

Hacker?  Definitely.

Inspiration?  Doubtful.

It seems that someone is clipping a coupon here, but I can't figure out who is the clipper of the clipee.

Yes, we did.

Maybe one day I will allow him to start a thread about it.  Not today though.  My request from him today was to start a March Madness thread.
