April 23, 2007--Church funnies

Two posts in one day! Mark it on the calendar! I wanted to share a couple of funny things that happened at church yesterday. Erick and I were teaching Jr. Kids Church, and this little girls said, "Teacher, she (another little girl) said a bad word! She said, "Shush up your mouth! Because I was talking too loud. Can I tell her not to say that anymore?" Since it was a beautiful day, we went outside and sat in the grass to read the lesson. Some of the girls picked some bouquets of dandelions to give their mommies. They asked if they could take them home, and picturing wilted dandelions in the classroom I said, "Don't you have dandelions at home, so you could pick her fresh dandelions?" One girls said, "No, my daddy's trying to kill them." Another girl said, "My daddy vacuumed them all out of our yard yesterday." I thought that was so cute. The funniest thing happened during the Dave Ramsey class. We are training up some new coordinators, and they were leading the class last night. He opened the class by asking, "What would you do if you lost your cash envelope system?" We all discussed it for about fifteen minutes. We swapped stories of losing cash, stories of finding cash, discussed whether it is better to lose cash versus a credit or debit card, etc. Towards the end of the discussion, an elderly gentlemen in the class addressed me and said, "Have you ever lost your envelope system in the parking lot?" I assured him that I had never done that, although I had misplaced my purse a few times. He held up a Dave Ramsey envelope system and said, "Is this yours?" My jaw about hit the floor. "Where did you find that?" I asked. "In the parking lot." he said. I took it and opened it up, and sure enough, it was mine. I hadn't even noticed it was missing! Oh my goodness, the class sure thought that was funny!
