Cell Phones In Church

[Bella1]

I had come in to church late (almost NEVER happens). I had just my cell phone and my car keys with me. Keys in my hand, phone in my pocket.

Because I was late to church, there was not parking. So I parked in the driveway by the gym. At this time our church was under construction and we were having church....IN THE GYM! I sat along the back wall.

About the time I sat down, my phone that was in my skirt pocket playing Pandora Radio....Pink Floyd. (I know, I know.....I was JUST checking out a song....for a friend!) As I am fumbling to get the stupid phone turned off, my car alarm goes off......right beside the gym and it was LOUD!

Since our church plays LOUD music, not very many people noticed all of this. Of course my 19 year old son and all of his friends where by me and was rolling laughing.

Needless to say, I get to church early now, park far far away, and I do not have Pandora Radio on this phone!

All I can add is that we no longer attend that church... after a long list of unusual happenings.

I always make sure to turn my phone to "vibrate" before going into the church.
People who purposely leave theirs on ring tone, are being very disrespectful
in my opinion.

Some think they are THAT important.

I have a friend that would wear his Blue Tooth on the platform while he played the bass. And we could always tell when he got a call.
