I'm not sure what historical connection, if any, her family had with our church, but her parents and siblings didn't attend. She came, all by herself, for a couple of years. She went to confirmation class by herself. On Confirmation Sunday, when our pastor invited parents and sponsors of the confirmands to join him in laying hands on the confirmands' heads, all of the girl's classmates laid hands on her; it was a very moving moment.<BR/><BR/>She kept attending for maybe a year...then disappeared. I wonder about this girl too.LutheranChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685566332651377907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-63219674787854936552008-03-11T17:16:00.000-05:002008-03-11T17:16:00.000-05:00Not much will wake me up at night...except for my ...Not much will wake me up at night...except for my cat jumping up on the bed to be petted...which she did about 8 times last night.Elaine (aka...Purple) https://www.blogger.com/profile/09439199680556347830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-25038685089799047932008-03-11T14:20:00.000-05:002008-03-11T14:20:00.000-05:00Wow, thanks Mrs. M!

When I was young I used to like to walk to church by myself when the weather was nice. I lived about 3 miles from the church, so it was a long walk for a kid. It's not that my parents didn't go to Mass, but I felt that I was more grown up if I did it by myself. I still remember that time with a smile because I always felt so peaceful in the early morning hours when most people were still sleeping.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if I was dubbed "the church girl"? LOL!<BR/><BR/>Regarding the sleep talking...I have a son who doesn't talk in his sleep, but makes this very loud groaning sound that stretches on for the longest time. It's creepy. I feel sorry for whoever is going to be his dorm mate next year! Maybe I should warn him so he doesn't think my son is dying or something! :-D <BR/><BR/>Great job on your meme, kiddo!Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-14744888216852755232008-03-11T00:45:00.000-05:002008-03-11T00:45:00.000-05:00Now you've got me curious about "the church girl" ...Now you've got me curious about "the church girl" too...
