and get the Olive Oil under the Pulpit??

Ever go into the church in the Dark... Still Spooky!!

Ever spend as much time in the basement as to miss part of the service??

Ever find things to do (Make Paper airplanes, write a note, read Song of Soloman, Count Hairs on the back of the Balding persons Head in front of you) while the Preacher is parlaying his thoughts??

Ever fall asleep at Prayer Meeting and have the Pastor wake you up when it was over??

Ahhh... The Time We had as Kids...

I remember we were in the basement one time running around the support jacks (Metal Poles), and our hands rubbing them made this horrendous rubba rubba rubba sound upstairs in the sanctuary. I remember I had a difficult time sitting for a short period after that.

My mother used to seat us in the second to last row right in front of the nuns.I had more correction in that one hour than all week long.I used to
sneak crackers in my purse and they always told my mother.You think I would
have learned not to do it but alas I did it again and again.I did sneak in when it was dark and lit all the candles my 25cents would by.That had to be at least twenty or so.lol...Thank God back then no one tried to do things to kids.I loved to go over to the church and pray.No one bothered me.

Growing up next to the church, I used to hate to go inside the church alone. For some reason an empty church is the spookiest place on earth. It was an old wood building and especially in the winter when we didn't heat it while we weren't using it, it had more noises than you could ever imagine. I remember one day my Dad was there working on the wiring. He was down stairs in the basement and my brother was upstairs. He wasn't that old, maybe 5 or so. We had been having VBS and there was a life size cardboard stand-up replica of Goliath on the platform. Well, the lights went out and my brother looked up and had forgotten about Goliath being there. He saw the replica and you would have thought his lungs had exploded. You never heard such noises coming from a child. We laugh about it to this day.

Oooohh the things we did in church..................

Bad, I'm tellin ya, we were just plain BAD!!!

All of us young people used to sit together in one or two pews. This was a tiny church, so we were all (everybody in the church) close together.

One night, one of us had eaten something and the gas that it caused was RANK!! We were all sitting in our pews about half way back just crawling under the seats. Some of us finally burst out laughing! And then we had to explain WHY.
