yeppers. I don't actually remember the word 'churching' being used all that much but one day, a few of us sisters decided to go 'churching' from San Diego to Texas in 1978. We wanted to get to know saints from different localities. We had a blast as we went on the spur of the moment and life in the LC for me was still good for a few months.

We went to Austin, College Station and Houston. So I might have met some of you when we were all young and dapper whipper snappers.

Everyone was hospitable but we paid for our own food by going out to eat.

It was when we were still Christ centered...at least I was. I did like the church life but....but...but... I knew something was amiss. And look at it now.
