WEDDING BELLS? Some of you who have visited our campus know the gate guard, SaintLuce. Well he has worked her for like a million years or something. Okay, maybe 50. Well several years ago he was widowed, and it sound like the time is right for a remarriage. He has met her family and they are all thrilled about the possibility. But his own kids (who all work on campus) are not! I told him he didn't have to convince me, that it was his decision. And he said, as if to finish any doubts about the wisdom of getting remarried: "Pastor Stargel, I have to pay 125 gourdes a month (about $4.50 US) for someone to do my laundry. Can you imagine?" Well, you can't argue when it comes to laundry!
