Re: Every church has one..... tell us about yours.
I have a funny story to relate. I had to ponder for a while, but it came to me.
I attend a very small church, and at the time of this incident there were maybe ten people in the church. The pastor, my father, was on the platform leading the singing, while my sister played the piano. When we started singing I'll Fly Away, a fly was flying around the pastor. There were a number of times when this fly would very nearly leave this world in a manner unfit for church. The pastor did not notice this fly very nearly landing in his mouth during this song.
My mother, who sat on the front row, and my sister saw this and started laughing. The rest of us are singing and notice my family members trying to keep a straight face. We start to swallow the grins. The pastor is now getting frustrated as we try to keep from laughing, and that only makes my sister and Mom start laughing. The rest of us start to really grin.
This keeps going through the song, until my sister literally staggered away from the piano and to the back to keep from destroying the service. It did not matter. Service went on, but there was no getting the Spirit back after that.
