Stalodarity

Weird thing happened this week in worship service. We had communion, which takes place from once a month to once every 3 months in our church. Well I guess it had been a while, because the little square wafers were VERY stale. I could tell by the smell when it was about 5 inches from my nose, but I ate it anyway. As I chewed, it became clear we were eating RANCID wafers!!! Oh it was GROSS! I looked around and everyone's faces were showing it, although they were trying not to. What to do? You can't spit it out, you can't make a sound, you just have to force it, and everyone did. It was disgusting. Then there was a quick rustling of gum or candy wrappers. Oh boy.....

The rest of the worship and study time was great. This is what we remember though.

I hoped it wasn't a sign....like that we can't handle Jesus or something.......that bothers me in a haunting way.....

keep the wafers in the freezer, that's my advice!

We use fresh bread, not wafers, maybe this is why.
