I met a very nice lady, Thelma Prather, at Barnes and Noble. She sits with our group on Friday nights. Her husband, Ron, is the pastor of Abundant Life Tabernacle on Hts. Ravenna Rd. This weekend, they were celebrating his 25th year of being a pastor. He is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. He met Thelma at a funeral in Ohio and they fell in love. They got married in 1970.
I was surprised to see someone I knew there. It was Danuel German, whom I used to work with at Sears back in 2001. She left there a year ago and has a job now at GH Express in Muskegon Heights. It was great seeing her.
The church service was 2 1/2 hours. Towards the end, they have the congregation come up front and someone touches your head and prays for each person. I had never experienced that before.
After the service, they provided us a nice meal. I met Colleen Walther. She was very nice. She lived in Louisiana for many years but moved back to Hesperia. I got to talk with Danuel too. I got a kick out of her surrounded by 4 desserts. The food was wonderful and everyone was so nice.
