I lift a glass to any who are celebrating not being there....
I accept your lifted glass and clink my ginger ale to your cocktail.
2nd time not there will be tonight. I was ready to respond to some who might have said it was a commandment and referred to the scriptures that said to "keep doing this in remembrance of me...." I was going to say, "So, are you going to do as Jesus commanded? You are going to eat and drink at the Memorial? NO, he didn't say to observe."
So far, and thankfully, they are so far leaving me alone about it.
