That was the day that Jesus left, and he didn't just leave,

but he was ascending to his coronation.

He ascended to take his position at the right hand of God.

When I first came back from Amsterdam to take my first assignment teaching college,

best than I lived for a few weeks in her mother's house in Pittsburgh,

and I was able to revive a long-time friendship with my first employer,

who was a shoemaker in town.

And I used to shine shoes in his shoemaking shop,

and we called him Uncle Ned, and Ned loved to play golf.

But he had to be in his shoe store every morning at nine o'clock,

and so he said, R.C., you want to play some golf while you're here?

And I said, sure, he said, well, we're going to have to go out to the public municipal course.

We're going to have to get up and leave about five and go out there and tee off,

so I can be back in time to open my store at nine.

And so every morning at five o'clock, Ned would pull up and vest his driveway,

and I'd take my golf clubs and would go on the car and would drive a few miles

to the municipal golf course and play golf.

And this one morning, I got up and I have my eyes full of sleepers.

I can hardly speak.

And we get in the car and we're three quarters of the way to the golf course,

and we pass this Roman Catholic church, and it's all lit up in there.

Parking lots filled with cars, and he said, oh, I forgot.
