Reverently, Quietly...

Brian had to give a talk on Sunday about being reverent in Church. (Hmmm, I wonder why they asked him to do that?) Later that afternoon the kids made a list of things he probably shouldn't be doing during church meetings from now on. Here's what they've come up with so far:
  • no more making faces at the deacon sitting on the stand to try and make him laugh
  • no more playing "peek-a-boo" with the deacon on the stand behind the elderly lady's head who always sits in front of us
  • no more taking pictures with the cell phone of our family down the pew
  • definitely no more doing the wave...
  • "yoda" voices while singing hymns, he'll have to stop that as well
  • no more shouting out "Yea" when someone reads a scripture (yes, he does that)

That's our list so far, but there are others. It's going to be hard to be reverent, but we are certain the talk being assigned to him wasn't random. Most likely it was encouraged by the people sitting in the rows next to us. We'll see how long the commitment to reverence lasts. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Your kids are so funny! Does he also burp after the sacrament and say, "that was good." I hear it's polite in the Hmong culture to do that....
