AN UPDATE
As I said in my previous entry, my trip to North Carolina was great. I'm having a good time here. Saturday my friends took me up to Mount Airy, North Carolina, the home town of Andy Griffith, of the old-time Andy Griffith Show, and more recently the Matlock Series. They had a lot going on. It is an annual 4-day celebration--Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Lots of stores where you can buy all sorts of Mayberry/Andy Griffith "stuff"; museums, etc. It was a lot of fun. We watched some Cloggers and listened to some Blue Grass music also.
Saturday evening we went to a great play, "Smoke On The Mountain", presented by a local community theatre group. They were excellent and the play was outstanding. It was about a Saturday night "sing" in a country Baptist church, set in 1938. I loved hearing a lot of old-time Gospel songs that I haven't heard for a long time.
Sunday (yesterday) was a great day. A fine worship service at a congregation about the size of my home church, approximately 1,500 in attendance. In the afternoon I got a tour of the Wake Forest University Campus and some faculty offices and classrooms. I also got to see where I will be speaking Wednesday night.
Today I hope to do some reading and other things. I may venture out into the community of Wake Forest some also. The weather here is still sunny but VERY COOL!
More as the week progresses!
