I guess I should pray today
Only
I’m not sure what to say . . .
My brother enjoyed a church
Because of the bells and whistles
He said the free coffee, free food and beautiful women there
Was a pretty nice touch
And now he prefers the church with those ‘bells and whistles’
Over the other one he went to a few weeks ago
He told me that the pastor
Preached about the brewing spiritual war
And how we must be warriors
The pastor spoke of the armor of God
And how powerful we are
While wearing Gods clothes
“Sounds like you’ll get super powers,”
I told him.
“But, I do remember mom reading those verses to me,”
I added.
He said the only thing that bothered him
Was that the people were pretty dramatic about the whole thing
Getting on their knees
And shaking
And all that
Apparently it was modern church
That welcomes all types of people
The gays
And trans
The strange
And criminal
The homeless
And the lost
The young
The blue-haired folks
All that jazz
They were all there
“The music was good,”
He said.
“It was clearly a very wealthy church.”
Maybe I’ll go with him one of these Sundays
It is just a few blocks from our house
And I am pretty broke right now
So a free breakfast
Sounds like a good time.
