The Not-so-serious:
My Pastor is quite humorous at times. He’s in his early 30’s and tends to add sarcasm to most of his average conversation. Tonight he began cracking jokes about a memo sent around telling the ushers what to wear tonight. All of the ushers except one had on a black suit and red tie…and so did my Pastor. He began teasing the one who had a gray sport coat on…but it was all in good fun. There really was no memo – just coincidence. The funny part is that a little boy just died laughing when he made those comments and began giggling uncontrollably. I thought I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing. Pastor was about to pray over the offering and we were all snickering because of the little boy. Ahh, what would church be without all of the little ones?
The Serious:
Psalm 119:121-128, 136
Open my soul to see,
I love not thee above all.
For riches and pleasures
Mean more than your letters,
My heart into sin has fall’n.
Open my soul and be,
The One who breaks down the fears,
For your joy and your peace,
Do mean more than these things,
I cleave to Thy word in tears.
