What in the world could Meredith, our newly wed bride, have in common with me and Carl? Well, she is from Gardendale and in our conversation I mentioned that Carl and I had visited Gardendale First Baptist Church because our son-in-law's band, Mercy Me, had been invited to play there a long time ago. My, my, my, how time flies. Meredith was in the 3rd grade. Now, she is married and a beautiful, glowing bride.
