Well, not all that strange . . . but there were strange goings on around the vicarage.
Sunday I had the two services as is normal; and then after that, we had a local choir performing at the church. Stayed for that and got home just before 4:00.
At 5:00 I went over and started prepping for our TEC200 class. We are going through Sex, Shame, Sacrifice and Smiting: Is the Bible Always Right? It's interesting and has provoked some good discussion; although it's causing some consternation amongst the more conservative members of the group. We finished up about 7:00, and I walked in the front door just before 7:30.
That was the long portion of the day.
The "strange" portion of the day came when we pulled up to the house after the concert, because there, on the front step, was a very large garbage bag full of . . . something we couldn't quite identify.
When we got to the door, we discovered that the bag was full of stuffed animals and hobby horses that look like they're big enough for a 3-year old.
Without a note.
Why someone would give this to us, I have no idea. Here's a hint: if you want to leave me an anonymous gift on my front step, leave a Costco gift card.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

In lieu of a pledge, perhaps...?
This is Montana . . . most of those types of pledges involve animals you can actually eat.
one time, someone left a walmart bag full of used baby pacifiers in front of the doors of the church in the snow. i had to dig it out. thinking it was something important under about a foot of snow.
are hobby horses the horses on a stick you can act like you are riding?
those are awesome. want to trade? i imagine no one has thrown away the pacifiers yet...
Mary: Yes, hobby horses are the horses on a stick.
lol - that sounds bad: shrimp on a barbie, horse on a stick . . .
But no, I'm not swapping my hobby horses for your used pacifiers.
