The thoughts leading up to this post began a few weeks back, when in an effort to saturate our kids with fond memories from our own childhood, princeCharming and I downloaded some "classic" (old) music for a road trip.
After hearing the Mississippi Squirrel Revival for the first time in a long time, I got to thinking about how many churches I wish I'd have thought to smuggle a squirrel into.
But I told myself " Self, do not post a cynical and squirrel waving post until you have visited this new church, or it may reflect unfairly upon their service"
And so I waited until today- today, when I wish I would have smuggled TWO squirrels into the new church we were visiting.
I could have left when they started with the Nicene creed...
( I DO BELIEVE IN...well, let's save all that for another post, shall we?)
But...BUT-- the pastor was a good teacher- sound and true, and deserving more respect than a crazed squirrel... I had heard him on SermonAudio, so, we stuck it out. Still, you just can't ignore the fact that releasing one or two squirrels down the aisles may help the regular members to appreciate this sound teaching too, by waking them from their Sunday morning nap!
