It seems the problem that “Silent” noticed was not just with a single person, but many in the small church. How does “Silent” help the rest of those in worship see the light?
There are times that I see others getting irritated in church, but I’m not sure how to help them give grace. We’d sure look like the church if we were more graceful. (BTW, I can be blind to my own irritation and wouldn’t mind someone gracefully pointing it out in my life.)
Thanks for helping me out…

I especially enjoyed the “sermon.” Definitely food for thought and self-examination.

It was an endearing part of who he was. He is long gone and I wish I could still hear his voice.

This too I have struggled with regarding two of my best friends, but its not their singing. I had to immediately thank your for your insight and not go and tell them how much they mean to me!

April, so appreciated your real life story. What a kind soul you are to have responded the way you did as a teen. Best wishes to you for a joyous rest of this holiday season.
