A Switchup

It is Monday morning and I'm sitting here in the university library checking the e-mail and applying for some other jobs around town. (One can only work for the nameless coffee company for so long.)
My sister came down to visit us this weekend and we had a very good time except for the fact that I had to work on Saturday afternoon and she had to work on a play for a class at school. But we got all our work done - yay! So she and Jason and I went and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Facotry - so so fun! When the movie started all the memories of seeing the original movie and reading the book came flooding back to me. Such a fun story and it was a bit like re-living a childhood memory. Of course Johnny Depp's interpretation of Willy Wonka is a bit more disturbing than Gene Wilder, but it was all fun.
Sunday morning promised to be a very interesting day, since there was to be a joint service between two churches. Over the last few weeks there was a bit of controversy over serving wine at communion because the service was going to be held on university property. Eventually that led our churches to decide to not hold the service there, but at our regular meeting spot. The service was always announced to be at 10 am. So Sunday morning we three got up, ran a little late, and arrived around 10:20 am. We thought, Oh well, we just missed a bit of the singing, we'll at least catch the entire sermon and communion. So we go inside, and, that's odd, the pastor is already talking. Well, they must have shortened the worship aspect of the service. We go and sit down. Look at the sermon notes. Hmmmm.....Jason turns to me and points out that they are on the last point of the sermon. Whoops. It seems that they changed the time of the service back to 9 am (the usual time). And since we don't have e-mail access all to often right now, we didn't get the e-mail. So we got a good solid five minutes of exhortation from the scriptures and fifteen minutes for communion yesterday. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
