Sunday Morning


One Sunday morning,
a minister decided to
do something a little different.
He said
'Today, in church, I am going
to say a single word
and you are going to
help me preach.
Whatever single word I say,
I want you to sing whatever
hymn that comes to your mind --
the pastor shouted out
'CROSS.'
Immediately
the congregation started singing in unison,
'THE OLD RUGGED CROSS.'
The pastor hollered out 'GRACE.' The congregation began
to sing 'AMAZING GRACE, how sweet the sound.'
The pastor said 'POWER.'
The congregation sang 'THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD.'
The Pastor said 'SEX'
The congregation fell into total silence.
Everyone was in shock.
They all nervously began to look around at each other
afraid to say anything.
Then all of a sudden,
way from in the back of the church,
a little old 87 year old grandmother
stood up and began to sing
'MEMORIES.'
