Laughing at Maranatha

I do have some fond memories of Deborah, before everything got complicated, when we were students at Elkton Christian Schools.  We were part of the 3 Debbie dream team.  Debby Lowe, Debbie Miller and myself Debbie Stacy.  We all got along like a house on fire and it seemed the joy of that friendship would go on throughout our lives.  However, people move on and very few stay in contact.  Staying in contact after high school is more like an endurance sport and so it is not often done. 

I can tell you we were always laughing.  Good thing she was a year younger than myself because I can not imagine the distraction we would have created in class.  I am sure I would have been paddled out in the hall many more times had we shared the same grade for disturbing the general peace and upsetting the teachers with their nimble fingers on the trigger of those famous wooden paddles.

Deborah sometimes attended my church, Maranatha Baptist Church, in Elkton MD.  Again this was probably not a good idea as I remember one evening service back in the late 70's when during the long prayer - for whatever reason - we started one of those CAN'T STOP LAUGHING laughs (Lord only knows what triggered the insanity) and the entire wooden pew was shaking and Debby was literally stuffing her coat sleeve in her mouth.  I find now I can not find that quality of laughter in my life where I want to swallow a coat sleeve.

There are other stories I could tell but I say Rest in Peace Deborah, instead.
