Church Humor

I was thinking the other night about funny things that had happened in church. I don’t know what started this train of thought, but here goes...

Experience #1: I remember the time that I made those necklaces out of sea shells for camp and I had one at church. I remember looking down the row and seeing one of the kids, maybe Logan, whoever it was, was probably about 4 or 5, and he was twirling it around the end of either a pencil or his finger, slinging it around and around and around. I could see it coming, but he was several people out of reach, and before I could stop it from happening, I saw the necklace take flight, going into orbit across the chapel.

Experience #2: I remember reading a while back, about pipe cleaners being a nice, quiet toy to take to church. It sounded good in theory, entertaining and silent. I thought I’d surprise everyone one Sunday and take a brand new bag of pipe cleaners to church for the grandkids and Adam and Logan to enjoy together. I was horrified as the meeting unfolded and it looked like craft central gone bad, with Adam and Logan making firearms out of pipe cleaners.

Experience #3: I got tickled one Sunday, too, as we seemed to get faster and faster on a song until I thought we were going to reach warp speed in a few short verses.
