OK, so they're not all true, but the running joke with baptists is the potlucks, so that's why I thought this was funny.
They are all pretty funny and thoughtful. MMmmm potlucks.
:)
I must like you...my blog colors are the same??!!
So if I change mine are you going to change yours???
I have to say that this came to mind last night at our church's annual meeting (Baptist) and hearing all the different committees give their reports and going over the budget - it made me giggle....and once I get the giggles at a serious time, it's hard for me to stop. Brian kept trying to help me stop, but it didn't work! Oh well. =)
Funny! Where did you get this?
I am not a stalker...really. I just mean we like some of the same things!
Can I be a turnip bulb?? The Methodists said that I could be...

Wie sind nicht verandern!
(or something like that)
Just so long as the bulb is an energy-saving fluorescent.
It takes 7 of those who are into end-times stuff. (7 being a sacred number.) They'll stand there and think of what the old bulb's going out has to do with the second coming of Christ. (Everything's a portent.)
