One Sunday morning...

Now a lot of you who attend church on Sunday morning complain that the pastor spoke too long or ask why they had to have that baptism and anything else that made the service go longer than an hour. Well, I want to inform you that you have not experienced a long service until you have experienced a service as a pk.
Most pastor's kids will agree with me on this. First, you have to get up very early because you need to get to church early to talk to all the old people that you do not know. Following the small talk with the elderly, you have to sit quietly and politely through the service that others are complaining about. When people get to go home and go on with their lives, you have to sit and talk to the other people that came into church late. Finally, after hours of fellowship, 27 little desserts, and 6 cups of coffee we get to go home.
Now, you would think that this would be the end, but it is not. At home the service continues. Mom and Dad talk about the service and about the people at church all afternoon. They ask us kids what we thought about the service. Throughout the afternoon and into the evening the family talks and has our own little church service.
So, the next time you are frustrated that the church service went 5 minutes past an hour or that you had to talk to a certian someone that you don't like, just remember that you do not have it that bad. Remember the pks!
