So I'm pretty sure it's E. Claude Gardner Day!!...
Who is E.Claude Gardner prey tell?
He is the ex-presidente of that which was and is Freed. Ten years ago, this man occupied the majestic presidential office and he has returned, in all his glory in chapel today. Why did he return? It's his 80th birthday, which clearly predetermines that chapel will turn into another "old person reflection day." The stage and first 3 rows of chapel are decored gloriously with greyness and wrinkles as students patiently, yet typically roll their eyes throughout the entire chapel process. It begins with the speech of the current president and all seems to be fairly well and safe from senseless talking. However, a woman then hobbles up to the stage; who other than the ex-presidents second wife. She proceeds to tell a rather disturbing, taboo-like story describing her relationship to brother Gardner. She first met him when he hired her as his presidential secretary back in the 50's. Just a few years ago both E. Claude Gardners and this woman's spouses die. A year later, they get together and get married. All of this is in a nutshell which really took 40 minutes to explain, but I couldn't get the imagery of a president married to his secretary after his wife died and her husband died.
Anyways, afterward, the city of Henderson and Chester County (both prestigiously manned by church of Christ officials mind you) decide to declare January 19th "E. Claude Gardner Day." Why? Who knows. However he is know for quotes such as "Let all things be done decently and in order" at the beginning of chapel and "Let's get outta here" when chapel is over... I'm pretty sure that's it.
After chapel, I ran vigorously to the bookstore to purchase the first "Happy E. Claude Gardner Day" greeting cards, but clearly the bookstore remained in the dark regarding this infamous holiday and all marketing tactics regarding this holiday remained void and nonavail. For shame. All this to say... Happy "E. Claude Gardner Day" and let all things be done decently and in order... rrright.
Other than this, God has answered a lot of prayers for me over the past few days. It seems like the environment of Freed has changed for me. So far I've been experiencing an unshakeable joy that I've been asking for during the remaining days here at Freed. Thanks God!!!
