Ooops
This morning while leading worship, I was supposed to sing the line “heavenly storehouses ladened with snow.” But I got tongue tied or something, fumbled the lyric and sang “heavenly whorehouses ladened with snow.” Yes, I did. Right into the mike. Nice and loud. I was so stunned for a moment I wondered, “Did I just sing whorehouse?” Then I …
Ah, Saturday
I love Saturdays, especially in the fall. Football! So, I cleaned today and am now panicked over my notes for the continuing session for the ACFW conference. I thought I was good to go.
