Saturday activities

We started a Alpha marriage class the married members of J Dorm at Kegan's Jail downtown. Now I use married advisedly. But today I referred to everyone as husband and wife. Most of them probably are in fact. A positive statement. Nobody corrected me. I wonder what that means.

I was less friendly and more instructive, fatherly you might say, today. We have eight couples with the possibility of more next week. That just about fills the room. We got several two person tables for the couples to sit together at. I had authority baby. That feels weird but it is necessary.

We got in two lessons today and I think everyone listened and got some practical information plus some spiritual encouragement. It was nice that boss lady MB was there. She loaned a lady some reading glasses. She left early so I have the glasses to get back to her Wednesday.

DW and I used to time to do the exercises and work on our marriage. The discussion got louder and louder until the couples near the front couldn't help but hear us. I think one of the women later repeated something we said to her husband in one of their discussions. Hopefully we and them both got some resolution. Lord knows I will try.

After some quiet at home DW and I went to a art exhibition and party at the house of GM in Eldridge Park, out NW of Houston near I-290. The house is very nice. The art was interesting. And old acquaintance at Redeemer is doing wood work, paintings, and other media with a religious theme is a sort of childish manner. She lives in Montana. (Idaho is for weirdohs.) I really liked her work and the prices were reasonable but where would I put it? I need to dig out not get more stuff.

I got to touch bases with some old Redeemer folks, some of whom I regrettably have never had a relationship with. It was time well spent.

As a consequence of a discussion I wonder if I should not see if it not too late to get my Masters and Doctorate and try to do some college teaching. It might be worth looking into.
