Well, I'll on my way for a visit to beeeeuuuttttiiiiffful ST.Paul this coming weekend. Looking forward to meeting some of you folks that attend Woodland Hills. I'll do the meet me at the sound booth thing on Sunday the 4th at the 11:00am service.

I know... you were planning to skip church and have a great day in the sun with a tasty bbq, but don't! You will surely end up in the bad place if you miss this one.

I'm busy during the daytime for the 6th thru the 9th ( some work relatd training ) , but could use some suggestions for the evening hours.

Side note, I'm bringing my camera and will be looking to get some late afternoon scenic shots around the area, I'm staying in Eagan. If anyone has suggestions of where I might go ( not *that* kind of suggestion ) I'd love to hear it.

peace, don

Hey Don,

WOW, who could imagine? What a coincidence, I'm going to Minnisoda too over the 4th.

Sept, I'm not going to Church, I go a fishing! A friend of ours has a cabin up on a lake about 15 miles from the Canadian border and we go a fishin thar.

I wonder, while I'm baiting my hook, will they be baiting their's in Saint Paul for a more prized catch?

I hope not.

Oh I think I just remembered reading a post of your's from a year or so ago, that said something about your thinking of moving up there. Do you have a job "offer"?

God bless be with you. (although I think he rather be fishing too, "considdering".)

In the love of Christ,
larris

Don, Minnesota is known for the 10,000 lakes. Taking a picture of the sun setting on a lake may be a beautiful site. Watch out for the 10,000 mosquitos! Black Eye

Check out the Mall of America while you're in town. Maybe take in a Twins game at the Metrodome. Taste of Minnesota is always a good memory to enjoy. Hope you have a wonderful trip in Minnesota! Bandit

BRING YOUR MOSQUITO SPRAY!!!

Its as bad as its ever been (LOTS of rain this year)

I don't recall ever having a 4th of July on Sunday at the church, but I suspect we'll have all time low attendance, AND the majority of WHC old timers on the board are no longer on the board... SO, don't set expectations too high. It may be just you and me and Shelley do'in lunch. But no matter... we gonna have a good time.

I figured as much but thought I'd throw it out anyway.

larris,

My consideration of a move to Minnesota came at a time when I felt particularly unsettled about the job / church situation I was in at the time. After my wife's visit to Minnesota it became clear the Woodland Hills church was just about as Baptist as they come in spite of the Doc's presence. I grew up a Baptist so I know what that means, and you Baptist folks don't be offended, you know what it means also Smile

. Then a good job offer came my way and I decided to stay.

Enjoy your fishing trip...

peace, don

Greetings, Don:

I chuckled at your "Baptist" humor.
Garrison Keillor pokes gentle fun of our Minnesota Lutherans; and,
anyone who was "raised a Baptist" knows the inside story of that issue.

For example...
I recently read that a particular branch of my Quaker ancestors decided to leave their faith & become Baptists -- because they perceived those folks as more "war-like"!

Enjoy your visit to WHC.
It rocks!

Peace & blessings,

By the way...
