Mountains
The other night, we drove just a few miles to hear our former pastor, Larry, deliver a passionate revival. We've missed him terribly; the Methodist church keeps promoting him higher and higher. His current posting is just above NC, his home and where his parents and other family now live.
Larry made an interesting comment. He said he'd forgotten how FLAT it was down there. He said 18 years up in this area caused him to just love the mountains, that he could raise his face to the BlueRidge, day or night, and feel such strong pleasure, lifting his spirits. He was happy to have this 4-day revival surrounded by the mountains.
I'd never thought about that, but it is so true.

I'm glad I can look in any direction and see the Blue Ridge Mountains. No better place!
Oh my gosh... you're not talking about Rev. Larry Mann are you? That would be a startling and amazing coincidence!

Our family's most favorite priest in Hull Mass got transferred and missed the beach town and everyone. He was the one who did Jim and Dan's funeral service and he read the book. We all miss him. They go where they're told.
He saw the mountains and you saw him!
Tara, no, it's Rev Larry HOUSE. Sorry to mess up the coincidence..
