MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICE
For the first time in many years Lou and I are not attending the Texas Folklore Society that meets the weekend before Easter. Therefore I got to attend my first Maundy Thursday service. This was after the Kiwanis pancake supper that should never have been scheduled on Maundy Thursday. Its a good thing that Richard Chaffin isn't here to see Holy Week being defiled. But he would have been proud to see me in church. I learned some new things. I wasn't familiar with the "stripping" part of the service. Also I don't think that Christ took communion by intinction, but I am really old fashioned. I still think communion bread should be tortillas because it is unleavened bread required for a seder meal. I am apologetic that I will miss the service tonight. But hopefully, the Lord willing, I will make Easter service.

How come no one ever complains that Jesus did not really drink grape juice?
I would also bet that all the disciples actually drank after each other out of the same cup, but nowadays you couldn't get anyone to do that either.
Because Rhonda is worship leader and choir director and treasurer, I have asked her to join as an author of the blog.
