It's a cold, gloomy, rainy day. What better time to meet the Active Adults at Smoky Mountain Bar-b-que for lunch! About 15 of us met this afternoon for our monthly meeting. The restaurant has cafeteria style dining with a full range of bar-b-que favorites, such as pulled pork, hush puppies, fried chicken and fish. The restaurants' motto is "We will serve no swine before its time". I opted for the salad with grilled chicken and an unsweetened ice tea to drink. Most everyone else had fried goodies.
I got to sit next to the new pastor. Pastor Tim is a young fellow with five children. His wife home schools them. He is one of the nicest guys and is really trying to meet everyone and fit in. He came from a town in North Carolina that was even smaller than Jefferson. He told a story about going out to visit members of his congregation where he had to drive through creek beds to get there. As he would pass homes, people would come out on their front porch with shot guns and just stand there as he drove by. Then they would run in and start calling their neighbors so by the time he pulled up to the home he was visiting, the homeowners would be waiting outside for him.
Next month we are going to tour the quilt barns in the area and I am really looking forward to that.
