another church roof

This time, it isn't at the sister church, it's here at Asbury Memorial Church.

Rather than a low country boil, a different technique has been devised.

The members of the congregation are being asked to pledge by choosing a date on a calendar that holds importance to them, then to pay based on that date's corresponding placement within a calendar year.

Let me explain.

I chose May 17th.

That date happens to be the 137th day of the year, so I wrote a check for that amount this morning and dropped it off with Claudette.

What did I choose that date?

It certainly doesn't mark the birthday or anniversary of anyone in my family, nor does it mark a special day for my friends.

However, Joan Hester Byrd would have been 94 on that date.

I do miss that songbird.
