I'll start over, I won't lead off with the choir this time.
Our minister spent a fair amount of time this morning on safely issues. A car was stolen from the church parking lot last Sunday. She also gave a code word to alert all of us to danger.
I asked on my way out if I should bring my handgun with me. She quickly said yes.
Any thoughts on the subject?
Well, yes, I carry in church. So does the pastor and his wife... as well as several others. Hope we never have to deal with the need for the pistols.
Further, there are at least two guys that .... given the nod from the pastor, will go and deal with disruptive and unruly folks in the pews. Designated heavies if you will. He looks out over the congregation and sees more than we in the pews do.
In all my years, I’ve only kicked out one group of three loud mouthed teenagers. It was easy to do. There were astonished when I confronted them and told them to sit quietly or leave. They chose to leave.

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
