"EXPOUNDING FROM THE PULPIT"

Today I went to lunch with the ladies from my Sunday School class. We went to Monticello, KY and ate at this little place called "Happy Days." It was pretty neat with all the old 50's things around; hubcaps, records, pictures of old cars, etc. We even picked out a couple of songs to play on the jukebox! What were those songs you ask? "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge, and "You ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog," by Elvis!

You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time,
you ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time,
You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine........

Yeah, we were all foot tapping and swaying with that one!! I had a cheeseburger which was really good. It tasted just like one you'd fix at home. I will definitely go back there again!! I also tried my first sweet potato fries. They had sprinkled them with cinnamon and brown sugar and then we dipped them in marshmallow cream. Good stuff! Very tasty!! Here's a couple of pictures from inside that place.

We also visited a lovely quilting shop and I really plan to go back there another time when I can linger longer! I love quilts!!

Next we drove out in the country a piece to "The Little Chapel" that is right beside the road. The sign says to "Stop, Pause, Pray." It's very tiny with 3 small pews on each side and they will seat 2 (if the people aren't too fat), so it will hold 12. There is a pulpit and in this last picture you see me expounding from the pulpit. I was telling them that they needed to each give me a large donation of money and it would definitely get them closer to Heaven! At that point I was firmly removed from the pulpit. I expect that very same thing has happened to preachers before!!!

Actually we sang some old songs while we were there and all 8 of us had that little chapel a ringing with our voices. We sounded really good in there!!
