@ Melanie - Mom said, "OH ...@ Ginny - Thanks!<br /><br />@ Melanie - Mom said, "OH NOOOOOO!" But then later she received her own "call to the pulpit" and became a licensed ordained minister in our church. ☺<br /><br />@ Dar - Yes, Dar, it was the right pointing finger, the one that would help hold the guitar pick. Some folks used to laugh and say that when he preached he could point at every direction simultaneously! ☺<br /><br />@ CherShots - Thanks! I have tried to plant and to water. In some cases I wanted to dig up and pull weeds and start with new seeds! ☺<br /><br />@ George - Thank you George. You always see the positive, don't you!<br /><br />@ Mel - Thanks for the comment about the baby. Now if I just had one of those yahoo blushing faces I would post it here.

I love how it ended, with him announcing his calling to "Preach"...how wonderful is that!<br />You are blessed from a blessed line of believers.

The finger thing, I don'...What a STORY, Fred!!! The finger thing, I don't know how it managed to stay on and why it didn't get infected. I guess God knew his future, and healed it! Phil's dad was a preacher, too. The preacher's kids often don't fare as well as the congregant's kids. Too much is expected of them. Love the pictures and this bit of your history!!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
