Quoting: Light of my Little Left Eye That's it.
Yep. Funny how things work out.
We have two hours of services starting at 7 tonight. And tomorrow starting at 9am, we have services until 6 fucking pm. My attention span barely lasts an hour. I have no idea how I’m going to get through it.
I hear ya.
I spent many a bored hour, subject to Sunday sermon, as a child..
In the 4th of 5th grade, a school wide 'contest' was issued. To learn the Beatitudes and be able to recite them from memory.
I set to the task that evening, encouraged by my mother, and showed up the next morning gleaming in triumph. They told me, I was to celebrate my victory by standing in front of entire staff and student body and recite them, word for word in the auditorium.
I agreed, waiting for my 'prize' that would assuredly come from one so eager to please, God.
When I got up there, I recited them, as I recalled, perfectly..and when I was done..I awaited my prize.
One of the teachers that wasn't my own, approached my meekly and handed me a paper bookmark that listed the books of the Bible..
I stood there, in front of everyone, in my victory, holding a paper bookmark I knew was worthless...but had to hold face due the attention.
It all made sudden sense.
