When you know its wright…
Ever doodle on a paper place mat? About 8 years back I daydreaming on a piece of paper. It was right after one of our kids got married in our very small church where two is company and three is a crowd. The old church I’d worked on many a year changing light bulbs trying to keep up it’s warmth and charm.

The moment you walked in you were elbow to elbow to the person next to you. The point being that many of our friends could not be invited to our kids wedding due to the lack of room. Months later a close friend died and his funeral had to be elsewhere. That did it. Out came the paper and a pencil and the wheels turned picturing Mr. F. L. Wright panning a design for our church expansion.

After the work of many and setting to rest the nay Sayers we have a new beautiful church with all the bells and whistles. But something was missing, a finishing touch, stained glass windows. Out came the paper place mat and pencil once again for a bit of warmth and charm seemed lacking…. Two weeks later, presto, 9 designs that “sold” in a two week time. Unbelievable nine different families came up with the funds to pay to the building of the stain glass windows. Something must be Wright with Mr. Wrong....Grand showing Thanksgiving 2008

Thank god you didn't have any gravy on the placemat or you would have a true "stained" glass window. Everyone saying "is that Jesus or maybe the virgin mary?" when in fact it was Heinz Homestyle Turkey Gravy.
