First Commandment


Gus went to church for the first time this weekend. We opted for the nursing room (interesting experience to watch the sermon on TV in a small cozy room with a scented candle, comfy couches and a box of kleenex on the table - singing alone is a bit weird, and I half expected the 1-800 numbers to start flashing at the bottom, so I could write my check and send it to...) while Daddy and our friends Mitch and Amy went to the "life" version of the service...

Gus' very first sermon was on the first commandment "Thou shalt not worship any other God before me" preached by Josiah Bankcroft...I thought it a fitting start to Gus' spiritual learnings...very simple, very basic admonition, but so hard to keep in today's world with all its temptations...

Afterwards, we got lots of well wishes and compliments for our adorable little son...who did not cry through his first visit to church, but did spend some time eating instead of listening...
