The priest at the church my mom goes to has a sense of humor too. I need to start saying hello and smiling more, your priest is right about that. I can recall times when I wasn’t feeling all that great and a stranger smiled at me or said hello and it made me feel good. It sounds refreshing to hear about a priest adding humor and relating things to everyday life. Thanks for sharing your church experience.Denise Baerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432140925773614828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222256117666591598.post-20391934864755244132010-02-18T19:55:46.135+01:002010-02-18T19:55:46.135+01:00Hi Bea,

At the service in my local church yesterday evening the old Irish Priest was surprisingly almost on the same page as your article. His homily theme was to stop complaining, judging people and have some humor. Also instead of giving up for Lent start taking up. He said we don’t know the crosses/problems other people are going through. Their problems would make our problems seem like nothing. He encouraged us to take up at least giving a little smile as you meet someone. Also saying or returning a hello can be so important to those with heavier crosses and may brighten their day. And gosh when it comes to being in church he said we need to bring in the humor. The practice of not talking to anyone in church and the serious faces of those who receive ashes or communion needs to be changed to a smile. This Priest is quite a refreshing character and has brought some fun into the church. Last Sunday he announced at the start that in addition to the service there was also going to be a baptism. He said since the time spent in church would be longer than usual leaving early would not be possible as the doors were being locked.LOL!Veejaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222256117666591598.post-71311251030020487142010-02-18T17:31:04.208+01:002010-02-18T17:31:04.208+01:00you can judge me, tot.

I'm not always going to accomplish it and there will be days where I will fail miserably, but I want to be conscious of it. I figured that's the least I can do since I'm close to perfect. LOL! Just kidding. <br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes.Denise Baerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432140925773614828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3222256117666591598.post-58717311413410825832010-02-17T22:45:23.848+01:002010-02-17T22:45:23.848+01:00This was an interesting post.

I want to laugh at your situation, but it's nice that you are trying to make a mends with your judgments. <br /><br />It's always hard because as a human race we are a judgmental bunch, even when we try to be understanding of other people's plights, stupidity and so on... <br /><br />However, they are just thoughts. And thoughts can never hurt you... <br /><br />Interesting post! <br />Good luck with your Lenten give upness... (sorry, I don't know what it's called. :D) <br />HinnyKara McElhinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013577325689856288noreply@blogger.com
