That would never happen here!
In all seriousness, I will be preaching the main sermon that Sunday morning and thought about giving y'all the link to listen, but I fear the roasting I would get from my FFF "friends".
Thanks to all for the very kind words, well-wishes, and prayers.
Now, as to the usage of the Pickle U Doctorate, I must ask....
with such a distinction of honor would it entitle me to always be first in line when we have potlucks and dinner on the grounds?
