I'm a deacon at my church and I take it very seriously. More that that I take my faith in Christ and my personal relationship with Christ therefore I believe in service to the "church" not because I'm a deacon or just a member of the church but as an act of my faith. So when I was offered the opportunity to act as an usher for the Christmas program I could not say no. Not of to one night but to all five! Now I'd never done this before but I've ushered different thing before so no problem right?
Let me tell you some of the experiences I had over this three day 5 event period.
Now being a usher you are given two assigned seat for you to sit in after your area of seats have been filled. I gave my seats up 4 nights and sat on the floor to allow others to have seat for the performances. I didn't have time to leave the church between services on Saturday or Sunday and got home near to 9:00 each night. Poor me? Not a problem, because I committed to the program. That's just the way it is suppose to be. Yes? Of course yes.
Now I offer you a real life look at the people who come to "FREE" events that are meant for worship and presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Of course in the form of a list!
1.Dress attire:
Ladies come in several categories. there the "I'm afraid someone won't see me group that dress like it is the academy awards and that's OK but if you are clearly over 50 you dress length should be below 6" of your rear end!!!!!!! Good grief woman what is to point of you showing 91% of you legs and in many case leaving nothing to the imagination. By the way, most of you CAN NOT pull "the look" off so use your mind and conscience because the rest of us don't like it.
Sub group here is the women that wear a "maga coat" but take it off as soon as they are in the building only to show 57%-72% of their chest. LORD have mercy! I'm sorry about your mother's death. How do I know your mother is dead you might ask. Because if she were alive she would slap you all the way back to the closet to dress yourself respectfully.
The next group is the "I forgot about the program so I came directly from Walmart" group. Please ask Santa for some matching tops and bottom stress pants this year. And please when the coats go on sale get one that will cover you middle and remember little animals are not in style anymore.
The next group are the men. Of yes, the men don't get out of this. Camouflage is not a color and it is for hunting. Don't wear you hat in doors and if you have been wearing a hat remember what happens to your hair after you have been wearing a hat for a while.
2. Behavior group:
At your house there is a thermostat that controls the temperature. Ifyou are cold PUT YOUR COAT ON! Don't ask me to turn the heat up when you are sitting with your coat in your lap.
I don't give out tickets. No there is absolutely no reserved sitting. I don't have anything to do with tickets. Nothing, absolutely nothing to do with tickets. so if you want to complain about there not being enough seats then next time read that tickets are void prior to the the event starting so you best get there early before people without tickets get YOUR seat.
3. The "Be Like Jesus" group
Thank you for being so nice. I met some of the sweetest people that would give up their seat for another location so a family could sit together. That's the spirit of Christmas.
4. You take your life in your own hands if you insist on using profanity in God's house. "SHAZAM"!!!
5. If you want to fight ... come on outside.
If you get mad at the world because you had to sit in a folding chair in a not so good place, don't take it out on me and if you do expect me to respond in like manner. Do not take a swing at me unless you want it back at you. That is for young and old alike.
Carols By Candel Light was a wonderful experience for almost all the 15000+ people that attended the program. God was glorified in so many was and i worshiped Him.
