Yesterday I gave the sermon at a well-attended service at the Fellowship: Living and Dying. People were very appreciative and supportive. It's great to be part of a community. Ray and I went to lunch with Deb and John and my father joined us. Ray went back with him to try to fix the DVR remote again. They are both frustrated and in the end Captain told him not to bother fixing it. He will watch his DVD's at our house! Ray thinks he is messing it up. I think it is the remote that keeps losing its programming. My Dad feels stupid that he has so much trouble with it.

At 4, I went to the community meeting about whether or not we should allow fund-raising events at the community center for outside organizations. It was stressful. Evenutally we voted against them. I was in the minority, but I understand the concerns of others about traffic, etc. People are just passionate about things and they get their feelings hurt badly. Living in community is not easy.

Ray fed the pigs and started a fire in the woodstove. It was foggy when I walked home, which made for some pretty views. We had leftover chicken and rice casserole, watched TV and went to bed.
