You know you're Pentecostal when...

[Rhoni]

You know you're Pentecostal when....

1): The amount of money you spend on hairspray exceeds your gas bill.
2): Your pastor announces midweek services EVERY Sunday night, and
Sunday service[s] EVERY Wednesday night.
3): You [or the ladies you know] can swim in a denim skirt and still
have fun.
4): It takes longer to TAKE prayer requests than it does to pray for
them.
5): You run into more than half of the church members on one trip to Wal-Mart.
6): The musicians at your church can tear it up, but non of them can
read sheet music.
7): You have 50 pairs of church shoes.
8): You're adept at stopping runs in stockings with just about anything.
9): You're considered an old maid if you're not married by age 18.
10): Running the aisles and jumping up and down is your exercise.
11): You could be an Olympic kickball player with all the practice
from church functions.
12): A birthday party is a night on the town.
13): Your white choir moves like Kirk Franklin's group.
14): The pastor says, "With this thought I close," more than three
times each service.
15): You have adequate respect for the power of flying hairpins.
16): Your feet have been stomped on at least 3 times during a service.
17): A run in your last pair of stockings is a national disaster.
1: You judge a church service by swollen eyes, rumpled clothes, and
disheveled hair.
19): Your kids know how to eat any crunchy thing quietly and could sleep on a hard bench through a tornado.
20): When shopping for shirts, you always run it through the "Praise
the Lord," test.
21): Sunday and Wednesday mean no cooking or dishes.
22): You can maneuver into a vehicle without messing up your hairdo.
23): Celebrating your 21st birthday doesn't mean much.
24): The employees at Wendys and BYB know you by name.
25): You can always find hairpins on the floor after a good service.
26): You can pronounce, "Habakkuk".
27): Mondays and Thursdays are the hardest days to wake up in the
morning.
2: Your day of rest includes 2 church services, choir practice, and
Golden Corral.
29): The kids you know think shot glasses are for playing communion.
30): Growing up you baptize your cousins and siblings several times in
the swimming pool.
31): Your 2 year-old runs through Wal-Mart shouting, "Praise the Lord!
Eb shamma dabba yamma yabba dooba! *clap *clap* clap* Yes, Lord! Yes,
Lord! Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah!"
32): The only thing longer than your prayer list is the hair of the
ladies you know.

Yes...that is the truth. I was shocked to find out the world's idea of camping was not Buckeye Lake Camp Meeting!

Blessings, Rhoni

Awesome list, Rhoni!! Made me laugh and remember!

Instead of "You Might Be a Red Neck", someone could do this as "You Might Be a Pentecostal" if...

Funny list and I can relate.
