UFO's have landed at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Eureka Springs. Don't be alarmed. This is just a quick meeting to help you all understand that we exist. We will disappear after the coffee hour. We promise. I was dreading Sunday's service at church. It was being given by a gentleman that believes that he was abducted by aliens not once but SEVEN times. This is what happens to a Unitarian Fellowship that can't afford a part time minister. We are given the opportunity to sit through hours of drivel. Granted, I think some of the people in our little audience believe in aliens and I suppose that our principals allow for the existence and acceptance of people who do, but come on! I thought we were a church that believed in the truth proven by science! UFOs! Goodness. The best part was when he said that he wasn't at liberty to talk about the recent evidence of alien implants. Thank god someone has that information under wraps!
I am planning the month of Sundays in October and I know that it is hard to get speakers, but I think we have now reached the bottom of the barrel... or some might say that we have landed in the stars!
Creative Update: So, I guess there are no poets in the house... or superheros and relative meetings didn't inspire you! No problem. I will continue going through my archive of creative inspiration and will post a new, perhaps more engaging, contest soon!
Family Update: Today marks my Sparkly Girl's first day of school and last year of high school. She is a senior in high school and although she is looking down the road to college I know that it is important to her to create a fantastic senior year! She goes to a very small independent private school in our very small town. There are currently 5 students in the senior class, three of them are boys, one is a Japanese exchange student and her. She knows that this isn't your typical high school class, but she is hoping that it will be everything she has dreamed it would be. It is my goal to help her create the most of what she has while always dreaming of the moon. Last night while laying on the floor with my dog looking up at my ceiling I realized that one of the possibilities of getting older is that your world can get smaller... I want her world to be HUGE! That, really, is my wish for everyone.
