An interesting question

[AreYouReady?]

I remember one time I did want to put toothpicks under my eyelids when we had a new Choir director. She had the choir sing Lanny Wolf's "He's More Than Wonderful" so many times that I lost count how many times the verses and chorus was sung. I think they sung that same song for 20 minutes.

So preaching is not the only thing that can eat up the time you spend in a service.

Like the 30-45 minute offerings. Again, very common at camp services.

A 30 minute offering is what I call... a bathroom break!

Really my husband hates it that when they go crazy I usually get up and leave the service... after nearly having my arm broken by an aisle runner I'm not sticking around for the pew jumping. Of course when he complains I simply tell him that if anyone asks he can just tell them I have a weak bladder in my old age... so far he's never wanted to share that.

I think I'm very blessed (and spoiled). My husband is a gifted preacher/teacher and he can break down the Word into stuff that helps you in your everyday life and where everyone can understand it. I've listened to him for over 30 years and I'm still amazed.

You aint just whistling Dixie sister!

Funny story: At our old church they still sing the songs from the song book and The Old Gospel Ship seemed to be the lead off every Wednesday night. One of my friends, a perfect little grey church mouse of a sister who sang in the choir was over one night and I asked her why it was they sang that song so often. I was nearly shocked senseless when she answered 'I don't know, you'd have to ask that retarded song leader of ours. All I know is that there is no durn gospel ship in the bible and I'm sick of singing about one.' I almost blew a gasket I laughed so hard. It was the first time I ever saw this angelic little person had the tiniest set of horns under her big hair!

Whistling Dixie? That's the National Anthem! j/k.

We had an Assistant Pastor who loved the song "Come and Dine" and we sang it nearly every Sunday morning. I like that song though.
