My first sermon out of Bible College, on a Sunday night 25 years ago, I mentioned that David wrote some Psalms because of screwing up in life. After my message an old lady came up to me crying because all she could think about was sex. The board met that Tuesday and decided that I go before the church the following Sunday morning and publicly apologize for saying “screwed up.” People who heard me apologize, but weren’t there the previous Sunday night, wanted to hear the recording of my X rated sermon.
In my college years, I was asked to give a testimony at a church I was visiting with a pastor. He said later my use of the word “crappy” visibly shocked some of the “blue haired old ladies” (his words). I might just write a memoir entitled “From Crappy to Meaningful: A Journey.”
Chef's kiss.
This is so funny
Stay vigilant, Grace Community. 🙏

No way. I mean, I believe it. But wow. 😂 😂😂
Your writing dug up old wounds 😆

Jeffrey if you keep using language like this in my comments I will be forced to report you to the local elder board.
They might unanimously vote to discipline me, which is odd since I’m on the board.
Holy crap!
True!
As a former nun, yes!!!! 😂
Thanks Sebastian!
