Sunday

Today we went to an Apostolic Christian Church. They are not Oneness. They are a very old denomination or group of Anabaptists, who originated in Europe. One of the families we met at the farmer's market where we sometimes sell vegetables. They sell eggs. So, we have visited their church a few times, and today one of their sons was getting baptized, so they invited us to go. They have very interesting services. It is very formal I would say. They men sit on one side and the women on the other. For prayer you usually kneel in front of where you sit. They sing Acapella, with very beautiful 4-part harmony. It sounded like a highly trained choir. It is a bit funny to me, because their servicess seem sort of old-worldish, yet the people are quite modern, so it is interesting. They are very nice people.

I love that fall is here. I really love fall. I like all the leaves turning. Here we don't have much of that, but I hope I will see more in Tennessee. I like the slight nippiness in the air, to look up at the moon and the stars at night with a chill in the air. There is just something romantic about fall and winter! I like that people eat pumpkiny foods. I had the most delightful piece of a pumpkin roll today at church, and the pumpkin pie blizzards from Dairy Queen are yummy too! I like to look at the fall displays people have in their yards. I love fall!
