I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Ten Things You Never Hear in Church

1. Personally, I find witnessing much more enjoyable than golf.

2. I hate it when someone takes our spot in the front pew.

3. The annual stewardship campaign is so inspirational!

4. I really love it when we sing hymns we don't know.

5. Let's pay our pastor so he can live like we do.

6. Pastor, please, I just have to serve on a committee.

7. I enjoy worship so much I wish it would last an extra half hour.

8. Pastor, we want to send you to a conference in Hawaii.

9. I wish the sermons were longer.

10. Don't ask someone else; let me do it.

I'm working hard on #8. Or at least a cruise or something ;)

Keep working at it; God does move in mysterious ways!

Good one, Allan. Shows where our heart can be. And while that can be a good check for us, it can also be sad, of course. Revealing stuff.

(And wouldn't Hawaii be nice, now!)
