That Last Entry
... was a mess.
Sorry about that. I was texting it to the blog while sitting in church and trying to be discreet... and my internet connection hasn't been working so I wasn't able to check it until just now. I have no idea why it cut off half way through.
Oh well.
This is what happened:
Mark came up at the end of worship to transition the service over to Pastor Mario and he was telling about a convention he attended in Atlanta the week before and how great it was. Then he mentioned that while there, he and his WIFE (who is not in any way "wide") celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. (This is where it gets good) He went on to say, "Our marriage has been a tremendous breast-- er... BLESSING.
"Blessing. Can you say amen?"
Nope. Too much laughter in the congregation.
"I said blessing, I don't know what you heard. Anyway let's..." His recovery was actually pretty good, unfortunately none of us was going to let him off that easy... the laughter continued... and Pastor Mario had to just come up to the platform (also laughing) and let the red-faced Mark go back to sit with his, literally, blushing bride.
Probably wouldn't have been nearly so funny if the word proceeding his faux pax hadn't been "tremendous".
Good times.
