What you can learn at church

Easter sunday and the scene is set for a beautiful day and an easter breakfast at the church. All week long I had been telling all the ladies at the church that I would be there at 6am to help set up and help cook (ok probably more likely to provide entertainment for the cooks there). Yet on the day where am I, in bed of course becuase my alarm did not go off (how dependable am I..sigh). So I whipped out of bed flew to the church (as much as a band truck can fly) and became the food ladler and dishwasher cleaner.

We had more than half the town come for eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and slightly burned pancakes (OOPS...no I did not have anything to do with that). I feel sorry for all the pigs in the world as I swear that half of them were eaten that morning and there are more than a few chickens crying over lost eggs. From 8-11:00 people were eating and then we had church. 20 kids were baptized that morning and the church has never been so full.

After while I was dishwashing I learned the words for crazy, butterfly and stop (yah they were all aimed at me but in good taste). Talk about a laughfest!!! All this talking led to other stories. Let me share the bestone.

At one time one of the elders used to run a taxi and during one night a drunken passenger left a mickey of whiskey in the car. Well the next time he picked up a passenger, they had missed a chance to get some alcohol and so he sold them the mickey. Voila new business! Well after that he never left home without one. Hmmmm...now I know what I can do if the pool thing does not work out and I decide to move to Port Simpson. So I have to say that along with the laughs and good fellowship you never know what you will learn in church.
