A hug I finally got!

I finally got to hug the neck of a dear sister in the faith.

A favorite author and Bible teacher of mine, Beth Moore was in the area doing a book signing this morning for her newest book, So Long, Insecurity: You’ve been a bad friend to us.

I got to the book store and was immediately asked if I had a ticket. 

Um, no.

Then I was sent to the “non-ticket-holders line.” 

I immediately began to feel insecure that I didn’t have a ticket.  Did I not measure up?  Was I not special enough to have a golden ticket?!?!?!

Oh, I kid.

I’m still actually not sure how people got tickets, but I think they just got at the front of the line.  Which was no big deal really.  I got there early enough that I didn’t have to stand back among the cookbooks and spend every last red cent in our bank account.  I was standing amongst the fiction… which really holds not a lot of interest for me being the non-reader that I am.

I got there a little after 10 am and the signing started at 11.  I had made it through and was done by 12 noon-ish.  So the line was really no big deal at all.

I hope she doesn’t think I was too weird, but I took her a homemade gift.  I wrapped up a couple of baguettes from my latest Bread Baker’s Apprentice challenge creation, Pain à l’Ancienne, since the formula makes a bunch. 

Ever gracious, she accepted my humble gift and seemed excited about it. 

 

This sweet lady has impacted me and so many people I know.  I was so excited to get finally get to hug her neck and express my gratitude to her in some small way.

Thanks Mrs. Bethie for coming to DFW today!
