***************************
It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus.
This past weekend was our Reformation Day celebration at church, which means we do one big service instead of three smaller ones.
This changed the start time, of course, and was the topic of conversation at Bible study the Wednesday before.
Someone asked what time the service began and there was debate about whether it was 10am or 10:30am. This started a discussion about what service each of us usually go to.
One mentioned she is generally at the 9am service.
Then another said, “Um, I go to the 9:10 service, but I’m always trying to get there earlier!”
A third piped up with, “That’s okay, I always go to the 9:20!”
How about some funnies.
Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday, everyone!

I am glad that in our church we only have one service in the morning and another in the early evening. Sometimes we gather with other congregations for special days, such as Reformation Day, or Ascension Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckles
ReplyDeleteFunny is about being late. There's plenty of people make plenty of excuses for being late, don't they.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than too late.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
These days there are so many options for everything, including church. It is nice to have them but it also makes it all difficult to decide.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun compromise and I enjoyed the funnies!

ReplyDeleteI hate being late. I love the funnies. I laughed out loud more than once.

ReplyDeleteI love the comics, thank you very much. I was raised to never be late getting anywhere, but it was okay to leave early sometimes, though not at work, only at gatherings, parties etc.
