It'snot supplication...

I began to sniffle. I could hear my husband sniffling. Then I heard people behind me sniffling too. Was the pastor's sermon that much more poignant and emotional this Sunday? Why were so many people choked up?

Well, truth be told, it had nothing to do with the content of the minister's sermon, which was very good actually. It all had to do with the number of times before the sermon that the congregation had been asked to bow their heads in prayer. Prayer: a time of thought and communication with one's higher power. ALSO, a time when sinuses already aggravated by the coming onslaught of pollen begin to flow freely. Maybe during pollen season the pastor could direct us to pray facing upwards toward the heavens. Either that or supply plenty of Puffs on each pew.

  1. A box of Puffs or hand out Neti Pots to everyone prior to the service
