JESUS

I didn't make it to church Sunday. I stayed home with Olivia. I really missed it. (Thanks Tommy for thinking of me and asked the Priesthood to bring me the Sacrament to the home so that I could still partake of it.) When Tommy got home, he recounted to me what had happened at church. During Sacrament meeting, it was fast and testimony meeting, where anyone from the congregation can share their testimony or spiritual experience with everyone else from the pulpit. One lady was sharing an experience and asked a rhetorical question during her story about asking for help and said, "Who should I pray for?" and then paused. Howie immediately seized the moment and her pause to shout out, "Jesus!!" This was Howie style which was loud enough for the whole church to hear. The Bishop sitting on the stand could not hold it in and started laughing, his face turning a little red. I am sure Tommy turned red too. The congregation chuckled too. Tommy said this kind of threw the women speaking off a little bit, she had to recover and keep going. Afterwards, some people came up to Howie and told him that he was exactly right, Jesus is the person we can pray for help from, but then Tommy had to add, "that is right Howie, but we don't need to yell in the middle of church." Ahhh, from the mouth of babes.
