A church service on a Friday morning

I dreamed that we went over to the church for a cleaning day, and lots of people were coming in and sitting in the pews. We had as many people show up as the day of Mark and Pam's concert. We kept asking around if anyone knew what was going on. Did we have a special service scheduled today on a Friday morning that we forgot about? Nobody seemed to know. Erick wasn't sure if he was supposed to preach, or if a guest was coming, or if it was a community sing. Some of the people started getting up and singing songs. Some of the people I work with at Walmart were there and started to sing, but it was terrible. I was mortified. Mark and Pam said that they'd try to come up with something to sing, but didn't have anything prepared. Erick decided to pray for a long time so that they'd have time to prepare. While he was praying, I remembered that some of my songs were in the piano bench, so I quietly tiptoed up to the stage to look for them. Not only did I not have a single song that I had ever heard of in there, I ended up dropping the lid to the piano bench on my cell phone and breaking it into two pieces.

Realizing it was getting late and that I was scheduled to work 2-11, I tiptoed out of the church, tossing my phone into the trash can on the way out. Halfway to work I stumbled across a truck full of worms that had overturned on the highway. I got out to help the man sort out the worms. He said that all I needed to do was scan them with my telezon. While I was helping him, I noticed that his fence was made of these unique, hollow wood, and he said that he got that from Freda Clendenning's house in Sedalia. I agreed that even though Freda was dead, her trees were legendary.

I tried to scan the worms, but I couldn't figure out how to work the telezon. It was touch screen and didn't look like the ones at work. Finally I looked at the clock and realized it was 3:40 already and I was late to work, so I apologized and left. I looked at the road and realized it was snowing. The roads were terrible. I didn't know if it was safe to go to work, especially without a phone. I thought about borrowing the kids' phone but realized Joy took it with her when she went to Momentum.

I stopped by the Hummels house and delivered some whipped cream to their poor, starving children. That was when I woke up.
