Linda's Visit

!Our computer has been down for a couple of weeks so I have some serious blogging catch up to do

We finally got to put the guest bedroom to good use when our friend Linda Bishop came to visit for a few days.  She lives in Florida so drove up to play in our new digs.  We've known Linda since college at Weber State where she taught when Tom and I were both students in the theatre department. After traveling to Europe together, doing many theatre productions, commercials, radio spots, traveling to New Zealand & Australia and experiencing a whole lot of real life together....we have been friends for a very long time

Linda went from high school teacher, college instructor, tv producer, theatre director and producer to theological school.  She became a pastor and is now retired.  She is the one who recommended I visit the Community Church of Christ in Montgomery so we went to visit it again while she was here.  It is customary to introduce yourself as a fellow pastor to the practicing preacher (which she did) and ended up being invited to the pulpit for a few minutes.

 Later that afternoon, Linda and I went to the LIVING TREE production at a huge Baptist Church in downtown Montgomery.  If you've never seen one of these productions, that huge tree is filled with choir members.  It was a program full of gorgeous Christmas music, dancers, children's choirs and lovely messages.

Over her 5 day visit we had a grand time sight-seeing, shopping, seeing A CHRISTMAS MEMORY at The Alabama Shakespeare Festival, eating out, eating in, and most of all just chatting and catching up.  It was Tom's last week of school before the holiday so he had a ton of studying to do but was able to join us for a few things.  Overall it was a great way to bring in the holidays and fun to have someone to share them with.
