A Merry Heart

I think this blog needs a little more humor lately. Last night was one of those moments at Sylvan Springs that you don't forget for a while. It was singing night and one of our well meaning deacons was going to brag on our singing. His comparison was that he had attended a church twice as large while visiting away yesterday morning and the singing was still not as loud or spirited as ours. Instead of saying he had been at "________ Church of Christ" which was the case, he said he had attended "__________ Assembly of God". He didn't realize what he had said, but everyone else did. I doubt I was the only one who had to wipe his eyes from getting so tickled. It was the last song before I had to extend the invitation and I told some of our folks I should receive an award for regaining my composure. I was reminded of a time when I was preaching on the crucifixion and in my most dramatic tone said, "And they placed a "thrown of corns upon his head."
