Sunday School

I wish I had something of real interest to write about after the weekend, but alas,nothing significant happened.

Sunday, I started leading a four week series in one of the Sunday school classes at PCUMC. We’re discussing the Social Principles of the Methodist Church. I got involved in the class when I read that one of the retired ministers who attends our church was going to do a series on the history of Methodism. It was something that interested me, so I started attending.

Because I usually had an opinion, and spoke up, I got asked to lead a series. This was the topic I chose. The group is an older group, but not the really old folks. They tend to be fairly mature in their faith, and the discussions have usually been fairly intelligent, but there is a wide range of views. I think the class is trending toward conservative, so we’ll see how the discussion goes when we get to the really controversial topics like homosexuality and abortion.

Sunday afternoon, Lay and I went over to St. Pete to visit some of his family. We ate lunch at a little seafood place called the Casual Clam. We’ve seen it before, and talked about eating there. It was very good, and while not the cheapest, it was reasonably priced. Lay tried some jerk spiced chicken wings. They didn’t taste but he didn’t like them. He only ate about two, and asked for a box. The waitress was very nice and asked him about them. When he told they just weren’t what he expected, she took them back, didn’t charge us for them, and he ordered some shrimp…that were great. So, it was not only good food, but a good experience as well.

I went to Mike and Jeff’s for dinner, and watched Duce Bigelow, European Gigolo with them.

Lay was not in a great mood Saturday. We had planned dinner and a movie, but he decided he wanted to go play poker at Derby Lane. I went to dinner with Mike and Jeff. We tried a new place not far from the house. It was about $80 for the three of us, but the food was pretty good.
