We had a pretty good day yesterday, a day of running the dishwasher three times because we were doing so much baking.
I also got some grading done, some sermon revising done, a trip to the local library branch that always cheers me up. I got early morning shopping done at Walmart, where, to my delight, they had the anise seeds I needed for the Pan de Muerto, the Day of the Dead bread recipe that my spouse shaped into delightful shapes.
I looked at my Walmart cart which had marigolds for today's table at Faith Lutheran that will hold the pictures and other things that remind us of our loved ones and the anise seed for the Pan de Muerto, the festive bread we'll use for communion and eating after worship. My cart also contained nicotine tablets for my spouse, along with paper towels and other mundane objects for every day life.
Today should be a good day at Faith Lutheran Church in Bristol, TN. My two confirmation students will help set up the worship space, which will give us a chance to talk about worship and worship spaces. I have hopes that the service will be meaningful; my tiny congregation has had a tough year in terms of losses, sickness, and death.
