The announced time was 7:30 and I got there about 10 minutes early, then received a phone call that made me race in the door at 7:29. Unfortunately I'd gone in the youth group entrance and got nothing but stares. They directed me to the main sanctuary -- whereupon I burst into the meeting already in progress and stopped the pastor cold. Turns out Wednesday night Bible Study has been at 6:30 for the past two years, they just forgot to change the sign!

My entrance was pretty well the end of the show. The pastor closed in prayer, then came over to talk to me. He said he was going to go right out tomorrow with a paintbrush and fix the sign, but meanwhile what was I doing here? I don't know whether it was strictly out of guilt or not, but he and another fellow wanted to buy a couple books. Guilt would be my first guess because they didn't even ask what it was about before they had their wallets out... ;)

Anyway, I had a real nice chat with several of them. I'm sorry I missed Bible Study, but it was fun to chock up a few more folks that I'll be able to meet again some Day.
