(I thought of this falling asleep Sunday night, but yesterday I couldn’t remember what I was going to confess.)
I love making jokes and puns out of bits & pieces of church services and daily readings. Not with any intentional disrespect, but I do tend towards fits of giggling at vespers.
Some are things that people have misheard (especially as children) and told me about, and now that part of the service can’t go past without me thinking of it.

The Feast of the Enunciation.
I can’t go on. You get the idea.

I guess I figured you’d have to yell for him to hear you all the way up in heaven. :-))

How about this gem:
“On the paschal lamb we graze” (we gaze) said loudly and dramatically as I was about to sneeze. It sent my entire family and 2 rows fore and aft into fits of laughter.

I have embarassed myself belting out song lyrics I was SURE were right. A trillion years ago there was that Genesis or was it Phil Collins song…Invisible Touch. I heard PHYSICAL ATTRACTION which for the record it doesn’t even sound like. So it goes…
