OK, so we had communion yesterday morning at church. They passed out both the wafers and the juice before we started. Not too unusual, huh? Then, the preacher read the scripture about breaking the bread. We prayed. Then, he held up his wafer (one of those round styrofoamy things) and snapped it between his fingers so it made a breaking sound. All the congregation did the same. Wow! I did not know that the breaking was so literal. Now, I was afraid that we would actually pour out the juice when we came to that part of the ceremony. No, we just drank it. The ushers came through immediately afterward to gather the cups. They came around with little baskets for us to drop the cups in. I could not say if there were 12 baskets afterward or not. Maybe there has been a big theft problem on the little plastic cups? Probably, since they also patted us down on the way out. Not really.
Bella came by today while Kyle took Kendall to the doctor. (No, it was a normal checkup and everything is fine.) Anyway, here you can see her stalking Chino. He is just chilling, having no suspicion that a two-year-old is about to yell his name at the same decibel level as a 747 taking off.
I forgot to post this picture earlier. Here is a shot of Preacher Bro opening a geocache we had hidden just for him to find. It had cards and well-wishes for his 50th birthday. We caught him completely off-guard. He must not have prayed for his eyes to be opened that morning. Charlie, the dog in the backseat, didn't really care, since she is not Keith's favorite. And they wouldn't even let Kim get in the car. You can see her hanging on the the mirror. I don't know why she had to walk. Maybe she's not Dad's favorite. Anyway, why didn't I take a video of it? I don't know. I didn't think of it until right now when I posted this. I'll be ready next time he turns 50 and we hide a cache for him.

Did they have sweepers ready for all the wafer crumbs?
No way. This is the body of Christ. We had to eat every crumb. If anything fell to the ground, it just looked like they were in deep prayer while they licked it up.

Ohhhhhhh ... that's what they mean when they say "contemporary worship service". Now to find a more contemporary word than "communion" ... but even I won't go there.
