Note the typo - they made my hubby a Reverand. He's not. He's officiated funerals before as a lay minister in his former church, so he knows "how" to do that. I'm ticked tho - the in-laws guilted/pressured/bullied him into doing this, even though he didn't really want to ~ for one thing, he only has one day to prepare and for another, how hard would that be to do for a relative, for cryin' out loud?! I hate control freaks as a general rule - it's one of my MAJOR pet peeves... few things make me more angry. But oh, well...that's another rant for another day. I'm sure hubby will do an outstanding job, short notice notwithstanding.
