Church today

I hope I don't bore you talking about church--hey, I am a priest! OK?

It was good.

People liked my sermon, 5 or 6 wanted to talk about it.

 I preached about 'oil in my lamp' and like the idiot I am, I had decided before church not to anoint for healing.

After my sermon I realized how dumb to talk about oil and not use some.

So before the postlude I told people they could be anointed before coffee hour.

Almost everyone stayed to be anointed and, surprising me, went back to their seats until everyone had been anointed. Really great of them.

Problem was, R., who anoints me, felt bad and left after the sermon. I called her when I got home and she said she was better and though she might need to leave with stomach problems from all the meds she'd been taking lately.

I almost pooped my pants during the prayers of the people and left at the Peace to go to the bathroom. I got back just as announcements were over.

Pooped in clerical vestments might require a bishop to come cleanse them.

Don't want that....
