Laura, this is the funniest tale ever. I laughed the first time I read this comment and now I am back reading it again to get a chuckle. Hysterical. (You!) XO

This is a true story, but almost too embarrassing to tell:
When I was a self-righteous 10 year old, my next oldest brother was 13 and struggling with his faith. He had recently talked to the pastor about his doubts and had pretty much decided Christianity was not true. That said, the house rules were that we all went to church as a family no matter what. During the next “Communion Sunday” , I was appalled when said brother took and ate the bread and was ready to drink the wine (grape juice) too. To prevent such “heresy”, I grabbed his little cup and drank his as well as my own. He was completely flabbergasted and began to laugh uncontrollably and very audibly… and everyone knows how contagious laughter is. We were both so hysterical that we had to remove ourselves from the Service. I don’t think anyone, including our parents, saw what happened that caused our crack-up. I am thankful to believe that I cannot thwart God’s Providence or Plan and that there is forgiveness for one even like me. <

That’s too funny Dawnie. I’d never heard that story yet. I’ll have to bring that up with Mike next time I see him. lol

Through the silence in between prayers, you could hear Mike’s loud snoring, echoing off the high ceiling of the church. This happened every Wednesday night, followed by me kicking him awake every 5 minutes.
That brother of mine could sleep standing up!! Lol
Love the stories Allie! Thought I’d share an adult embarrassment. Lol

Oh my goodness Amy, these are amazing. You have a book in the making and you can’t make this stuff up. Too funny. Only mothers of boys can understand. Thanks for these great stories, and glad you didn’t get hurt in the glissando glitch! XO

Guess I was really getting into the song. I’m just glad it was during a rehearsal and not a Sunday morning.

Easter Sunday 2007, while my boys were coming to the sanctuary from Sunday school (small church in which parents relied on the Sunday school teachers to bring the kids to the sanctuary after SS) the boys snuck outside. A very passive aggressive, over joyed, “blue-haired”, southern belle, in her very thick, Savannah Ga accent, paraded to the piano and proudly said, “Amy, I hate to tell you this but your boys are peeing right outside the front door of the church!” When I got outside the boys said, “look, mom! We made pee art crosses!”

Dear Nancy, are you talking about Pastor Steve Bostrum? So Scott stopped the service too….Jonathan and Scott share a rare talent. Too funny. Guess Scott wanted to stay in church after all and wasn’t shy about letting everyone know about it…
