We didn't want to miss church on the road, so we found a Conservative Baptist Association Church. I picked out a nice pants outfit and grabbed my NIV Bible. David and I went to church.
We got there and the name listed on the church was different than the one in the GPS, but we decided to stay. We were already in the parking lot.
We entered and there was a sign saying it was a KJV (King James Version) church. I have an NIV, but can follow along. The church was decorated in early Home Interiors pictures, flowers, and sconces. I look at the other ladies and they are all wearing dresses. Not until church starts does another woman come in wearing pants. I was feeling uncomfortable.
We started singing one song I knew, but didn't know the other songs we sang. I just do the best I can.
The preacher started with a joke:
A Baptist preacher and two men went deer hunting. All three men shot at a buck at the same time and it dropped dead. They couldn't determine who took the shot that killed it, so they called the game warden in to decide. The game warden arrived and took a long look at the deer. He stepped back and said "The Preacher killed it." The men were shocked. "How do you know?" they asked. "Easy, went in one ear and out the other."
He got a few laughs over that one. He then suggested we put one finger in one ear so what he preaches can stay in there. Not as many laughs on that one.
The sermon was good and we were soon out of church. As we were leaving, David asked me did I notice the preacher's feet. I said no and asked why. David said he had preached with his shoes off. By the time he had gotten to the back of the church to shake hands, his shoes were back on. Missed that one!
Grabbed lunch in town and then did a little sight-seeing.
There's a better day coming!
