Old Stomping Grounds

This past Sunday we decided to venture away from Disney to go back to Palatka. We wanted to go to church at Faith Baptist  to show the children where their Mommy grew up and where we were married. It was bittersweet,  in that we only knew two people there and there were less than 30 people in attendance (including the 6 of us visitors). The pastor is a former A Beka rep who had kids at PCC at the same time we were in school. Barbie got to show the kids the AWANA trophy case which has some pictures of her from the 80's.  We also took a picture in front of Dad Bailey's sound booth (incidentally,  we sat in the old Bailey pew). After church we met up with Barbie's best friend (who was the maid of honor in our wedding) and her husband for lunch and fellowship - it was good to see Tim and Summer again. We then went to visit Grammy's (Grandma Gregory) grave and showed the children the old Bailey house. After touring the bustling metropolis of Palatka,  we began our long journey back to the Magical world of Disney. It was good to be back for a bit. We may even make it a tradition.  Love you all. Have a great week.

I remember many of the scenes in the church.

I praise the Lord that there are still faithful saints there.

Glory to God.
