My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the church family of College Park Baptist Church in Cary, NC tucked inside the white collar triangle. I am praying today for these brothers and sisters. Great folks!
And I must mention one of my favorite landmarks in North Carolina: Elon University. Hey, I am famous. For some of you who don’t know my full name, it’s Elon Todd Wood. E.T. for the short version. The earlier Hebrew professors rightly named the campus after the particular trees providing shelter and enjoyment for the student body.
And yet as an Idahoan, I am happy to be back in my home area. Driving down 17th street to our church building in Ammon, I slowly tagged along behind a 15 passenger van. Family decals on the back window showed a husband and wife holding hands as eleven children trailed to the right of their picture. Here are the letters I saw on the license plate: “QUIVRFL”.
I chuckled. Yes, I am home. A very unique place.
Cute. My dad told me that scripture when I noted that other families has less children than ours – I’m the oldest of six.
Once my mom packed up all six of us children and joined her sister and her six children on a road trip to Washington to visit grandpa. You should have seen the looks on the McDonald’s employees’ faces when all 14 of us piled out of our vans and up to the cash register.
No one has really experienced the large numbers of a family reunion until they drop in on an LDS one in the West.
If they go to restaurants, one might as well reserve whole rooms. A definite rush for any line cook (I use to be one).
