I just can't pay attention in church. My pastor is great and everything, but when I look at him I just want to take pair of scissors to his hair. And he is a very good, interesting speaker, but he's been talking about Paul and Silas for eight weeks now. So I stare at the screen from my little seat in the church cafe and it goes in and out of focus like a hypnotist's pocketwatch and the next thing I know I'm off to Happy Place Square Mall with a wallet full of cash.
Except this time I brought along my handy dandy notebook and made a few notes, which resulted in these buttons. You may use anything you like, just be a sport and link it back to me.

You have a strange and very rich inner life. I bet you giggle to yourself rather often.
Thanks, I love these.
I love these! It's amazing how God inspires us during church, isn't it?
I think I might swipe the bunny one. I have comment envy.
Its not your fault, I seem to remember sleeping or zoning out in church more often than not, So blame your problem on inhertence. Of course when the preacher was good it kept me awake, but so so speakers put me in dreamland.

I like the bunny, but how do I put it on my blog?
This church you speak of, are there many of these?
These are very cool. You rock!
Does that church have a 'Suggestion Box' where you can put in an anonymous suggestion to make the 'message' more appropriate to today, instead of all this symbolism...?
...did you seriously bring a notepad to mass? hahaha.
is he one of those priests with the long oily hair on a very bald head?
I just daydream pretty wildly at mass, one time I saw someone writing something and drifted into a daydream where they were reviewing mass for a local catholic newsletter.
it runs in the family. i get my best ideas when someone else is talking to me. happens when i read a boring book too. ive developed the ability to read one thing and think about another. i find it self-anoying tho.
You are a great multi-tasker.
I would love to see the Bartles and James one. ;-)
That one of the Hoff made me throw up a little bit. Thankfully, I was too young to have a crush on him since all I could think of when he was on TV was that he was an old hairy dude.
You are very cleaver that's for sure!
Brilliant! I'm swiping the mommy blogger one. :)
Yes, more and more churches have cafes or coffee shops now. I like to sit in ours for church because it's a lot closer to the children's church than the sanctuary is. And because I can put my feet up in there and doodle and drink coffee. If I did that in the sanctuary people would definitely look at me funny. Also a preggo like me generally has to pee every 30 minutes or so, which is much easier to negotiate in a cafe than a crowded pew.
But anyway yes, it is quite common, it's a great way for the church to support itself without soliciting donations. Everybody wins.
The pastor's hair is kind of like Michael Landon's, that sort of overgrown look. I can't stand it. Plus last week he wore red pants and a red and white striped shirt. I kept waiting for the punch line...
Hilarious. I'd use them...but you know I don't put that kind of stuff on my blog. You should go to church more often...good material generator!
wow, they don't solicite donations? amazing.
