Well all I can say is thank goodness that there is a scriptural precedent for falling asleep during the sermon!
The Apostle Paul affirmed its goodness by healing the man who was injured in doing this!
Acts 20

You try that nowadays, the Diocesan Director of Professional Standards would have your guts for garters. But do we read of DPSs in God's Word?

The moral of the story is that preachers should not put people to sleep unless they can raise them from the dead.

Oh I think there was only the Gloria after that, to make up the entire sermon!

What worries me about this story is that, far from getting the hint, Paul raised the poor fool from the dead, and then kept on preaching!!

Explaining why is going to need a moment, since along the way we must take in the Ancient Greeks, the study of birds, witchcraft, 19thC Vaudeville and the history of baseball. Michael Quinion.

So how many of us sat in windows yesterday in church? Apparently it's the thing to do! (As long as we manage to stay awake.) ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

Is it Biblical to sing the same song over and over and over and over? If not, I'm all for the back to the Bible method of church reform.

I don't know the psalms do have "sing a new song to the Lord" yet seem to themselves have been used rather repetitively in worship and repeat themselves pretty often.
Then Our Lord quote psalm 22 on the cross so showed some familiarity with it.

What with the airflow and the rather intense adrenal rush that comes with watching people fall three stories there wasn't much chance of dozing off. The event certainly gave the sermon a second wind.

If guitarists are damned, what happens to ukelelists? (Yes, we have two ukelele players in our church!)

I have never considered that there might be a group of ukeleles! ![[Smile]](smile.gif) We had a group of eight harpists at our church once. That was a lovely concert! And...I think that was a Bible-based instrument grouping! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
