So a few weeks ago I decided to go to church for Palm Sunday. I got to church a little late, so I slipped into the pew in the very back. Church had already started so I was trying to be as quiet as possible. As soon as I sat down a gentleman next to me said (in his outside voice might I add), "Good Morning!". I responded with good morning and thought to myself, is this kid for real? He then proceeded to discuss with the person he was with how he was trying to make a cross out of his palm and the difficulty he was having with it. All I could think of was how ridiculously loud this guy was being when we were suppose to be quiet and reverant. I think the lady behind us got so fed up with how loud he was being that she eventually just gave him her palm that she had made a cross out of to shut him up.
He then turned to me and asked me what page the reading was on, again in his not so quiet church voice.
After communion, I quietly went back to my pew and kneeled quietly to be reverant and pray (which was what everyone else in church was doing), except for my friend sitting next to me. He thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce himself (again in his not so quiet church voice). He asked what my name was, if I was a student at Gonzaga, and what I was going to do on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. I was in such shock that he was talking so loudly during this time of silence that I tried to just quietly answer him so he would leave me alone. Once we sat down, he turned to me and asked me for a pen. I handed him a pen out of my purse and watched as he wrote his name and number down on the collection envelope. He handed me the envelope and told me to give him a call sometime if I ever wanted to get a drink or hangout. I gladly took the envelope and left church as soon as I could.
As I left church, I thought to myself..touche God. Touche.
Song of the day: "Someone Like You" by Adele..I HIGHLY recommend her new album 21. It is beyond amazing!
