- If I see a gold Chevy Venture, I look to see if it's Heather. Never mind that they don't live here. Never mind that they sold the Venture a year ago.
- I cannot remember my phone number in Searcy (any of the 3 we had) but I still remember the number at the people's home where Jimmy worked here in Ohio before and for the first two years we were married.
- I saw Tanya Leckie at the Michaels in Mansfield, Ohio yesterday. Tanya Leckie lives in Searcy, Arkansas. But still I saw her from the back and started to say hello. Until I remembered that she doesn't live here, nor is she visiting. At least she better NOT be visiting and not letting us know. If you see Tanya, in Arkansas or in Ohio, tell her I saw her in Michaels.
- At the Monmouth Church of Christ in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, when someone comes up out of the water after being baptized the entire church sings, "Oh, praise the Lord! All ye nations ..." (282 in Songs of Faith and Praise, 79 in Songs of the Church and 46 in Great Songs of the Church.) It's second nature. I'm still not sure a baptism "counts" without it. (For those wondering, that last statement is dripping in sarcasm.)
- I cannot call the large, not-an-auditorium in our new church building the Multi-Purpose Room. It is the FLC. Get over it.
- Amy Grant has a recording of "We're Mraching to Zion" on her Legacy album that begins with bagpipes. Listening to the song, you start to believe you truely are marching somewhere amazing, and you're marching with a huge crowd of people. Singing it without those bagpipes doesn't have the same effect.
What things does your brain seem to stick with?

FLC??? That's crazy. It is the MPR! ;-)
Actually, I've heard most people call it the auditorium. Yes, old habits are hard to break!
