Escaping Greensboro

It seems more difficult than it should be for Amanda and me to "escape" from Greensboro and North Carolina in general. We keep getting pesky reminders that it still exists, that there's still a church there with a lot of people that we miss.
For example, we just received our first checkbook from the UVA Community Credit Union. The checks have lovely photos of Charlottesville landmarks... and they came to us straight from the manufacturing/distribution
The freakiest thing is that our church has some missionaries visiting next Wednesday for a world-missions focus. Cooperative Baptist Fellowship missionaries. Missionaries to Hungary. Missionaries who we don't really know but who were celebrities from our church in Greensboro. I am hoping that they'll bring some people we do know "on tour" with them as roadies.
Isn't it enough that I have to pretend MSU is giving the sermon, instead of our dear TEL, in order to pay attention? Isn't it enough that I wish BTM would play "Jesus Loves Me" on the organ before and after the children's sermon? Or that I want the ushers to stop passing the offering plate across the whole row? Or that I really wish we could have the closing hymn without a spoken invitation every time?
Sheesh. I want to copy and paste my past into my present.
