I love church. I love going to church. With the exception of having a really bad headache or some intestinial disease, I dont like to miss. And here's why.
We, at First Church, for the most part, have a good time and like one another. Everybody seems to have a great sense of humor, and in a large family, that makes for a lot of spontaneous fun.
There is nothing like laughter. Last week, for example, our pastor sang an impromptu song with one of the congregation. Everyone enjoyed it, and no feelings were hurt. It is what makes a family. And as a result of the song, it becomes a story that will be told for years.
We tease one another. Pastor's daughter has a boyfriend, so we all call him "pastor's son-in-law", which does not make pastor laugh. Instead he glares at some of us, and pinches others. But he knows that we are kidding.
He loves to laugh, to joke, to enjoy his day. We have had some good times. This Friday night is the annual "pastor's Christmas party", where last year we got the pleasure of hearing Trinity Crowe tell "elephant" jokes. An example: What time is it when an elephant sits on the church? Time to get a new church. They sound better coming from a little girl.
At the Crowe family Halloween party, someone dressed as our beloved pastor. It made the entire evening so much more fun.
Sometimes skits are performed during a service. When our little kids perform, there is always something that makes us smile.
What makes us all the same today? Having a sense of humor, enjoying one another, and realizing that being part of a big family can be a lot of fun.
