i got to go to manheim, PA this morning to hang with other BIC pastors. i love that. i love going to the sticks and i love the people that i get to hang with. i can't go to anywhere near lancaster without getting lost at least once, though. and i did that today.
one time while trying to go to new joy (nice name, right?) in ephrata, i was looking for the place in these back country roads and was totally lost. i saw this community rec center near these woods so i stopped to ask for directions. as i walked up the hill to the building from the parking lot, i noticed some targets, like for shooting things at on the side of the building (bad idea for me to be wandering into some weird place in the sticks where they shoot things). i knocked on the locked door of the place and this old white dude answered the door with a puzzled look on his face. i asked if he knew where new joy was and he was like "heh?" (it was like i just said "large talons" or something).
he asked his other old white companion (there were 3 total) and none of them knew what the heck i was even talking about. they had quivers of arrows strapped to their legs. they had composite longbows on the ping pong table and they weren't all that into having company at that moment. as soon as the words "i'm not sure where that is..." came out of the gamesman's mouth i was all "thanks for your help...have a great day (or something)."
pilger was all about this lady joanna newsom. i saw bvolt@ listening to her today, too...so i thought i'd check her out. i like.
