If you are worried about a little heat, there are early services, morning services, and also evening services. So using the heat as a reason for the parking lot really doesn’t fly, but then again neither does “our survival” depends on parking spaces.
No one is angry Cynthia; you were clearly trying to skew my comment regarding walking to church being refreshing into a pro parking “plaza” opportunity, so I just went ahead and fully answered.
In summary, then, Lisa and Cynthia think that it is reasonable and just that my neighbors and I forfeit a combined ten million dollars in our home values so that they won’t have to get “dolled up for worship” and have it “melt off” maybe twelve times per year. I would comment on that fact, but I think it speaks for itself. I feel as though I’m in some sort of absurdist philosopher’s nightmare.
I don’t have a horse in this race. I had just come in from walking my dog, read Avid Readers response and commented. I sort of thought I was being funny. Sorry.
No, absurd is the “forfeit ten million dollars in our home values”. Let me guess. That number was at best obtained by an “objective” appraiser hired by the homeowners or at worst an “estimate” by the homeowners themselves.
Certainly a parking lot could be seen as a problem if not properly landscaped or walled in a residential neighborhood. A better solution would be an underground garage. Either way the on street parking needs to end. It’s dangerous during any church event. Once the new parking is added, don’t allow any street parking during services except by special permit for homeowners.
And yes if you think you are in some sort of absurdist philosopher’s nightmare, you probably are. Enjoy.
2.75 minutes…a brutal and life threatening experience. So I asked my Church to tear some houses down and build me a parking lot over in that neighborhood.
This commitment to serving the Lord is making my legs tired! Enough is enough!
3 blocks and it was a very nice and refreshing walk.
Was it 100+ degrees?

No need to be angry. I just wondered if it was 100 when you were feeling so refreshed.
No use getting dolled up for worship and having it melt off.

from the red parking lot to texas stadium for billy graham’s crusade, the opening event at the stadium in 1972.
It was when my daughter got married. Dad’s understand.
