What It's Like To Be Sick In Church
Flikr

1. Knowing it's gonna be a long service

*"maybe I should just skip church today... No, I need Jesus"

2. When the pastor says, "Say hello to the people around you"

*Ya, feel free to shake my hand, there's sick germs all over it. You are welcome.

2. Sniffing endlessly because you forgot tissues

*Why didn't you get tissues from the bathroom before you came in?

3. Your throat burns because you cough under your breath because you're praying

*Honestly, everything hurts from holding in your coughs

4. Trying to not to interrupt the service with another cough


5. Trying to keep your eyes from watering

*ya, the Holy Spirit is working, but that's not why I am crying right now. I'm just deathly ill. Don't mind me.

6. Sniff


7. Asking your friends if they have tissues

*"I should've gotten toilet paper form the bathroom, but do you happen to have tissues?"

8. Realizing no one does, and you have to suffer more

*I guess I'll jus use my sleeve to wipe my nose (don't pretend you've never done it)

9.Still crying from being sick

*You can only hide it so long

10. Cough


11. Sniff

*If only you had tissues to wipe your nose...

12. The look people give you when you cough for the millionth time

*Ya, I'm sick. I can still worship God. Get over it.

11. Getting the chills because the AC kicks on

*it's hot, then cold, then hot, based on how many times you stand and sit doing worship, and how many people are actually there


13. Leaving and being free to be sick

*you're not really free though because you are deathly ill, and can't do anything

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
