Straight as a pencil in this pencil spin

This was one of the moves the judges did not award points for. I still don't understand why. It felt good and when I watch it back I don't see the mistake. Nothing other than my hands are touching the pole. Oh well, better luck next time! 🤗 Although it would be nice to get some feedback so I can improve for next time💪🏼

Sometimes the 8:00 service is like the trial run for the main event. I try to have that not happen, but sometimes it just does.
Today I realized I missed a good 25% of the sermon; it just fell out of my head. 🫡 I’m going to chalk it up to still getting used to an 8 & 10 after all summer of just 9:00.

Sunday (yesterday) was a rough day at church. Robert the Persnickety Organist (not a real person, but our electronic hymn box) decided to play everything super quiet. A lovely hymn was turned into a howling mess as people tried to sing but … well, it wasn’t lovely.
To top it all off, I forgot the words of invitation to Communion. As in, they were just gone.
At least I didn’t spill the wine.
