John and I walked 12 miles to the east of Albany, Georgia yesterday. We passed by numerous cotton fields. This is harvest time for cotton. Most fields have been picked, but there are still some unpicked.

 

Besides looking at cotton fields for four hours, nothing much happened on Saturday.

 

This morning, Carol and I attended services at First Presbyterian Church of Albany, GA. John drove up to the Atlanta airport to fetch Ruth. She was in the DC area doing grandmother duty.

 

The service at First Pres. was different to say the least. Rev. Garrett J. Andrew is a young dynamic and passionate preacher. He came to this church about 3 years ago when it had less than 50 members and now, although it may still be struggling, it can boast over 200 members. It is an inner city church that struggled when the membership fled to the suburbs. Unfortunately a common story among all churches.

 

Carol and I went to the movies this afternoon and now are waiting for John and Ruth to return so that we can chow down at Golden Corral.

 

On Saturday, we didn't find anything. Stay tuned ...
