Killers and Criminals

Last night I was leading some songs during the bible study out at the prison. I was trying to get the guys to sing the song in a round, but I couldn't figure when the second, echoing part should come in. We kept messing it up. Finally one of the guys spoke up.

"We're all killers here," he said. "We've killed enough. We don't need to kill this poor song."

Point taken! We moved on to another song.

A year ago Jana and I were leaving Freedom Fellowship. The crowd at Freedom is, shall we say, a diverse group. And as we exited the building we encountered a police officer waiting by the door.

"Oh. Hello!" said a surprised Jana.

"Hello," said the officer. "Sorry to surprise you. I'm just waiting for someone inside."

Jana and I wished him a good evening and walked to the car.

Strolling along I quipped:

"You know you've been to church when the police are outside waiting to arrest someone."
