Piece of Work #2.....

I guess I'll be putting plenty of "Pieces of Work.." posts on here, but I really can't resist telling you about VJs cute little comments. I'm going to tell you the background of this cute story....
Mimi, Papa ( Mom's mom and dad), and I went to VJ's and Noah's big VBS thing at Madison Baptist on Friday night, while Mom and Dad went out. It was Missions Week, and they had many missionaries, and one who practically preached a sermon~only about 15 minutes, but that was long enough. And it wasn't that interesting...just the bad news about where you'll go if you don't have Jesus as your Saviour...which is hell...I have to say....Mr. Plott's ( church pastor), and Mr. Swinney's ( LCA chapel instructor) sermons and chapels are better.....no offence..... Anyway, when we were in the car, I told Mimi that I practically fell asleep while that guy was "preaching". Then Mimi went on telling us of this guy, in the Bible, who, listening to one of Paul's sermons, fell out of the upstairs window...because he had fallen asleep. Here is the text printed in the Bible:

" And in a window sat a certain young man, named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him, said, " Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him." Now when he had come up, had broken bread,
and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak he departed. And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.


Well, I wasn't sitting in a chair by a window, so I didn't fall asleep or out of a window. I was tired, a bit, though. ( Being a sister to two boys can be hard work.. no joke...). Anyway. Mimi was telling us that story, and I told her that the music leader at Valley, the first part of his email is " eutychusrocks". She thought that was funny. VJ caught on to the part of " falling out the window" , and "that guy".
Mom and Dad came home a few minutes after I had put VJ down, and I had gotten in my PJs. Mom kissed VJ, and then told Dad VJ wanted Dad to kiss him. Dad came out a minute later, and I told them about VJ's saying that " the guy fell out the window". Dad goes, " So that was what he was talking about. He was talking about the music leader falling out the window.......
Yes, we all laughed....I don't think VJ's said anything since......
