Loud Music

Sunday I had an old lady come up during rehearsal before the service. She approached making a painful face with her fingers in her ears and proceeded to tell me "God doesn't like Loud music". I wanted to recite to her a few Psalms that exclaims just the opposite, but this was just part of all the pains this weekend. I continued to be reamed by a few individuals who attend our tradtional service during the rehersal about the music. Then during the service the most unpredictable thing happened. During the forth song of the music set the worship service coordinator walked down the center ailse and spoke and used hand gestures to tell everyone to set down. So they did...right in the middle of a song. Many found it distracting and others laughed at her. I knew why she did it though. She had taken it upon herself that we had been standing too long. And since some of the old people like to sit after a couple of songs she thought everyone needed to sit.
Along with this kind of service I also had a dead car battery problem, broke the button on my shorts (which kept falling off at my friends kids birthday party), stepping in pudddles with sandles, dog extracts all over the washer and dryer that was either poop or throw up, and bad weather.
Today is better. I went to school. rewired a car stereo for a friend, and brought home a special lunch for my sick wife. So I have a happy face now. Still can't believe the "God doesn't like loud music" thing.
