And I HATE being so high maintenance! I HATE that my Sweetie has to do so much, while I do so little! I HATE that I can't even go out and bring in the stupid newspaper! Which brings me to the story of The Snail. It was a cold, rainy, March Day. One of those awful damp days where winter says, "Oh no! I ain't letting go yet!" There was a bluejay in the backyard. Standing on the wet grass. Looking for something to eat. Along comes...]]></description><link>https://www.littlemooreucc.com/post/the-snail</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4ad02cf7b480551f136455</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:48:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f270e_2754cfeb140545e78991e5a4f3798374~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Pastor Dave</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Star]]></title><description><![CDATA[This was the Children's Sermon I had been planning for July 5. Before my accident. I would give each kid a white star. And I'd hold a star in each of my hands. Then I'd talk about each of us dreams about being a star. Be a Star-win the race. Be a Star-win the contest. Be a Star-everybody's cheering for me. But here's the thing about Stars. At least the Stars up in the sky. Each Star, at least each Star up in the sky, is very far apart from each other. Then I'd stretch out my arms so the Star...]]></description><link>https://www.littlemooreucc.com/post/_star</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4ace440e6d4656949c0347</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:40:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f270e_8366ee800d7249eeafb65a6563c5ea90~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Pastor Dave</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet Another Weekend Getaway-Part 6]]></title><description><![CDATA["Easy" You ever see any of those old prison movies? "The Shawshank Redemption" "Escape From Alcatraz" In those old prison movies, the talk among the inmates is, "What're ya in for?" And "When are ya gettin' out?" There's the prison escape attempt. The "break out." And when somebody does get sprung, everybody's happy for them. While also being secretly jealous. Being in rehab is like being in prison. The talk among the inmates---I mean, residents--is "What're ya in for" and "When are ya...]]></description><link>https://www.littlemooreucc.com/post/yet-another-weekend-getaway-part-6</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4acd5cfa58f0a255d58bd2</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:35:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f270e_b40024e7ce0f45d593f55f4f3eb6aefb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Pastor Dave</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet Another Weekend Getaway-Part 5]]></title><description><![CDATA[Rest. Even under good conditions, I often have trouble sleeping. My sorta, kinda joke sometimes is, "Guess today, I'm gettin' up with Dolly!" I read somewhere that Dolly Parton gets up every day at 3 am. Me too, sometimes. Now I'm in a rehab facility. Part of being here is, I'm supposed to rest. Sleep is healing. Ya ever try to MAKE yourself sleep?! Good luck! Lately, I've been praying on our Gospel Bible reading for this Sunday. It includes that old favorite. Jesus says, "Come to me, you who...]]></description><link>https://www.littlemooreucc.com/post/yet-another-weekend-getaway-part-5</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4accac66d1ba6042d3fe2c</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:31:38 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f270e_dd26604c81914734b05882d11a5ee37f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Pastor Dave</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet Another Weekend Getaway-Part 4]]></title><description><![CDATA[Roller Coaster Day. You ever have a Roller Coaster Day? You're up, then you're down. Just like riding on a Roller Coaster. Yesterday was a Roller Coaster Day. I was sitting in my room, here at the rehab facility. This lady walks in. I kinda sorta but not quite recognize her. She says, "I brought you a visitor. In comes----EMILY! YAHOO!! Emily is a young woman from church.

It was about 8:30 pm. Too late for an official welcome. And the grand tour. A nurse does come in to check me out. It's getting late and later. I encourage my Sweetie to go home."Get some rest!" She's exhausted. Worrying about her crazy husband, who's been in the hospital 4 times in the last 6 months. I've been to this rehab place before. As a pastor, visiting church members.

This only happens to old people. I'm not old!" Old is a matter of opinion. To the 90-year-old, I'm just a kid. To our granddaughter, I'm a dinosaur. Old or not, I was laying there, unable to move my leg. My second thought was, "You idiot! How could you do such a thing?!" But I've broken sticks on the wall like that before. One of my faults is, I'm human.

It was a Friday. Friday is trash day in our neighborhood. I had gotten up early. Just before I was gonna get on the stationery bike, I took some trash out to the trash can. By the trash can, there was a long sycamore branch. The thing about sycamore trees is, if any wind blows anywhere within a 100 miles of a sycamore tree, something's gonna fall off that sycamore tree. And so it was. A seven-foot long sycamore branch, laying on the grass. No problem! I'll just break that branch up...]]></description><link>https://www.littlemooreucc.com/post/yet-another-weekend-getaway</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4aafc90e6d4656949bb983</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 19:32:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5f270e_8114b43892a64826a439783084f40aa7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Pastor Dave</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
