Some friends and I were in Kentucky a few years ago on a house building project.

We went to a place called Crummies Holiness Church for services one night. It had outhouses and a very cool Appalachian band. Not too many Catholic churches around there.

Anyway, they were dancing in the spirit. Every time someone was losing some of the spirit, they would put their hands on the next person and that person would start dancing madly.

I was sitting on the end of the row and this woman started dancing really close to our aisle. All my friends looked at me with a mixture of concern and better-you-than-me laughter.

I was trying to figure out what the polite thing to do would be when she bent over and threw a napkin away in the unnoticed garbage can next to me.

That can may have been the only thing between me and a charismatic awakening.

One of my wife's freidns was of the Church of God of the Mountain Assembly. We're talkin' "You ain't saved til ya speak in tongues" types churchin'. We had to go to her church to meet her and there was a big wooden box near the front. Without bating an eye my wife asks, "Is this where ya keep the rattle snakes?".

I can't even go into a church much less attend services of any kind. I think they are as fine with this as I am. LOL!

That's typical Crash. That's called "wrestling with God". I did it before I was saved. There is hope for you yet.

Hey Spirit Coyote, Check out "The Screwtape letters" by C.S. Lewis. Its a view of humanity and sin from the perspective of a higher dark angel, tutoring his nephew. Quite excelent.

A nervous vicar develops as case of "back-to-front dyslexia" so that he pronounces some words, but not all, backwards. Trouble begins when he tries to advise his parishioners on how to sip their Communion wine... "You must never plug it...you must pis it...pis gently".

s-rge, if i am to become like you, there is no hope for me

this sounds like some good stuff. have to check it out sometime
