Bound to Barberville

Hello -

This post is for those among us who still wear the purple (or blue "musician color"!) band of Barberville. It has come to my attention that I am not the only one still wearing my band since last Saturday. Yes, Becca F. and I have been wearing our attendance bands for 6 days now. I wore it to church, for Bible Study, and out to dinner tonight. It has survived a shower and endless hand washing and dish-washing.

We have wondered when the glue will give out or it will rip from the wear and tear. Whenever we get it wet, we always wonder just how much of that purple dye is soaking into our skin, but we don't take it off.

It'll take drastic measures for that.

We fiddle with the sticky and shredding part, and slide it up and down the inch it goes and twist it around and around. We can't wait for people to ask us why we have it on so that we can clasp our hands and let the memories fill our eyes with sparkles and our voices with laughter and joy. We wonder just how long they really will last, and our mothers want to tear them off, but we daresn't take them off, because then it would mean that the glorious Barberville 2009 Spring Frolic is over.

We can't take them off because we're pretty sure we'll go into dangerous Barberville withdrawls.

Like it says on the A1 bottle ... "Yes, it really is that good".

With a smile, and thankful for God-given friends!
