Surprisingly I woke up in time for to make it to Sunday school at 9:30AM. Laurel Church of Christ. Nice church. Big college class. I was able to successfully fool the teachers into thinking I truly was a college student and not just someone visiting friends.
The class was so big in fact, that they had to separate the girls and guys. Not sure what the reasoning behind that. The topics discussed weren’t the type that would cause problems with the opposite sexes to discuss.
Scott commented that this church seems to have the Lord’s Supper as a sorta mini-devotional in the middle of services. Much more time is devoted to it. Which is sorta refreshing a way. Too many times we are urged to “hurry up” and get the Lord’s Supper overwith so we can get to the “meat” of the service…ie the sermon. We tend to forget that the Lord’s Supper is the most important part of Sunday’s worship service.
Saw Hunter Hagewood, an old college friend of mine at church. He’s up here working at UT’s computer center. His wife is expecting a boy anytime. Hunter is cool. He’s a missionary’s son and spent much of his childhood in Brazil.
We stopped at the Giant Panda Chinese Restaurant for lunch, but thought the prices were just way too expensive for us college students. So off to a nice Mexican Restaurant. After that we went to some used clothing store.
Anyways I’ll be leaving soon for my drive back. Maybe I’ll stop by the Sunsphere and relive old memories of the 1982 World’s Fair. When we first visited the World’s Fair, my mom said it was going to be the best thing since sliced bread. She had been to the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City. So much better. Knoxville’s World’s Fair was just fair. The world’s largest Rubik’s Cube. Robots that drew pictures in Japanese… You know. Just fair. Not spectacular. Nothing that will be remembered in history books. Just fair.
Adios everyone.
