Today was the day my mom made her choir debut. She's been practicing with the choir since the beginning of January and finally felt ready to take the stage. It was such a big deal for her that she invited my brother and his two kids to come see her. My nephew's almost 13, and my niece is 15. They don't usually attend church, but made the effort for this special day.
Susannah wanted to stay in the service, too, instead of going to Sunday School, and Dan and his girlfriend thought they'd miss the high school class to support Grandma.
Wouldn't you know that the sermon today was on sex? Sexuality from God's perspective, as it is supposed to be a picture of our intimacy with Him. Nothing inappropriate or graphic, of course, but definitely pushing the boundaries.
Squirm? No, I didn't squirm at all.
(Why oh why couldn't it have been something safe like David and Goliath?)

Go figure. Of course it was. Just like whenever I invite people in my family to watch an episode of a TV show that I really enjoy and generally think is safe and fine, it's always the episode where they talk about sex, or swear up the wazoo, or whatever. The universe just likes to make us uncomfortable...
This kind of thing happens to me, too. You just have to trust God that that was what they were supposed to hear. People may be thinking more deeply and seriously than we realize, or they can be dealing with issues they can't talk about. I think it's great that they were there.
so, besides the sex sermon ... how did your momma do in the choir?
