Yesterday morning after making a few remarks the minister sat back down on the chair he sits on every Sunday. Only yesterday the chair seat gave out from under him. There was a loud crash. His feet were on the floor, his knees were over the frame of the chair, and his behind and the chair cushion were on the floor. His face first registered shock and surprise, then he started smiling and then laughing. He was obviously unhurt, but he looked totally ridiculous. The congregation started laughing. We laughed for several minutes as he sat there in a very awkward position. No one came forward to help him up, we were all laughing too hard. Poor guy. He finally hoisted himself up and very gingerly sat down on another chair. It was a little hard to again find a spirit of worship.
In the afternoon I watched Al Gore’s movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It was a thought-provoking movie. I highly recommend that you watch it. Global warming is a problem that needs to be confronted.
I watched part of the Grammies last night. I was pleased to see the Dixie Chicks win best song of the year for, “Not Ready to Make Nice.” That song touches a chord in all of us. There are times when we are just not quite ready to be nice to people who have mistreated us. Forgiveness is a hard thing to do.
