I pulpitted (is that a word?)

~ MaryG

As part of my duties as a member of my church’s Executive Team, I briefly occupied the pulpit this morning. First time!

I’m pleased to report that despite my current state of mind, I was extremely pleasant. No F-bombs were dropped. I did not make any verbal references (veiled or otherwise) to the upcoming election, although I did wear my Chuck Taylor sneakers and some pearls. And also a brat-green t-shirt.

I received a couple of knowing compliments on my sneakers and feedback that I was a “natural” up there. I consider this a win (although I did forget to say a couple of things I had planned). Next time I’m going to write my remarks in large print on an index card, instead of looking at the tiny typeface on my phone.

      1. Mary, too funny. Ironically, just last night, as the wedding party kept going with dancing, my wife and many of the women went barefoot. Yet, one woman, the wife of the officiate, was in those sneakers. I told her I liked her Chuck Taylors. I can’t recall if she was wearing pearls.
