An interesting question

[Sherri]

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.

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.

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.

I was getting ready to have me a good laugh at your u-tube video. Then it said Embedding disabled by request and for us to watch on u-tube.

I just edited it and re-posted it with a clip that wasn't disabled. Look at the original to view.

Good Grief! What are they worshipping singing "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"?

But then...we are looking the goofy Simpsons....who specialize in making fun of everything on the planet.

I like Sister Act myself.

I do not generally leave a service for any reason, although I have been annoyed enough to take a journey myself (not saying why or whether I believe myself entirely justified in one instance, just making confession). My only gripe is when I am told that he is 'closing' and an hour later we are now to our 500th 'in closin'.

Bro. Martyn Ballestero (a very conservative preacher) made a reference to some of these type of things on his blog. One of them mentioned that you have time to read Psalm 119 entirely after he says, "In closing."

There would be VERY little time on the stopwatch for time spent filling up space. He spends a little bit of time at the very beginning, a very little bit of time, and then he jumps in and teaches. When the assistant pastor preaches, it's even funnier. He stands up and just dives in. There's no filler...lol He says a lot in 30ish minutes.

It was the first time I ever saw this angelic little person had the tiniest set of horns under her big hair!

Was it anyone we know?
