Ummm, it was put back where it belonged and the "lady" didn't have to do it for you. As to the Zen of church, you are exactly right. When I was young, my family spent time in Washington, D.C. While there we spent a lot of time at the Washington Cathedral; despite the fact that it was in the middle of this terribly busy city, it was so quiet and peaceful as soon as you set foot on the grounds. You could really feel the hand of the Divine there. I love churches and cemeteries. They are wonderful places to quiet the noise that exists in our heads. <br />Best Wishes from Oklahoma!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840668309306515083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-49963710566586982512015-09-29T02:45:56.811+00:002015-09-29T02:45:56.811+00:00Maybe you can braid the cord next time in a bit of...Maybe you can braid the cord next time in a bit of cheek :)<br />MissFifiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590011396134249375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-45018512429825328072015-09-27T17:38:32.570+00:002015-09-27T17:38:32.570+00:00That's something my mother would say (instead ...That's something my mother would say (instead of "thank you").
