It's Sunday morning and I will be working today in the restaurant. This is the one day of the week that I don't like working. Those people that have gone to church and now they want to be waited on. They're arrogant and give off this, "How dare you work on Sunday", and the, "They are not giving me much money for a tip because they gave to the church". These people don't even turn they face to look at me. They cut their eyes and look at me sideways. If they truly believe that I shouldn't be working on Sunday, they should not bring their sorry asses out to eat on this day. When they give me too much attitude I ask, "So what was your sermon about?" and you know...They don't usually remember. How about you...Do you remember what your sermon was about???

That bites. I guess spitting in their food wouldn't really accomplish anything...
or would it?
:)
terri- awesome post in a sad sad way. good point about our sorry asses forcing businesses to be open. if it wasn't worth it, no one would bother to open up on sunday would they?
as for 'my sermon', i didn't preach today (i preached last week LOL) but today's talk was from philippians 2.2-4 and was all about the importance of conducting ourselves in a manner that is worthy of a relationship with God. in light of your post, i find this really interesting.
the benediction...
the big pronouncement at the end before everybody heads off to their favourite restaurant ;-)
... was from phil2.15:
"become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life"
in short: let everything you do be worthy of being written down as the work of God. good counsel- there's still much work to be done there!
(sorry for going on and on, but that's what you get for leaving intriguing comments not only on this pastor's sorry blog, but also on the blogs of others that he reads! if you still have the energy, you can stop back into the e-pistles blog and see all the extra stuff addressed to you and others frustrated in the same way that i felt was just too much preaching for this comment box!)
Bob doesn't approve of sermons. He laughs at the idea that humans have any inkling what's on his mind. Last time someone asked me if I'd been saved, I said sure, I was 7 and drowning and an atheist jumped in and pulled me out while the christians were running around shouting "Oh my God, Oh my God!" They didn't ask again.
Teri, truly great post here. One of my favorites. You must rattle cages more often.
Haaaa... Michael's comment... adds fuel to the fire.
Classic tale of hypocrisy, very well told.
If they don't approve of people working they should get off their lazy asses and cook for themselves at home.
I think I'll remember this sermon :) Good one, too.

Twenty plus years ago one of my exes talked me into going to easter mass with her. Even though she couldn't partake in the sacraments cause she was a 'fallen woman.'
Church was beautiful. Choir was incredible. Rituals were interesting. (Reminded me of some rituals in black magic only not...back when I played with that sort of thing.)
Priest got up and started his sermon. He was Irish. The sermon was on abortion. I got up and walked out.
Fuck the holier than thou. Most christians are christ like to about the same amount humans are humane. Happens now and then but not generally where I can see it.
Hmmm... Did I mention that I HATE working on Sundays?
Ah yes, the Once-a-week Christians who believe that because they attend service, they are somehow, magically 'absolved', and that they are BETTER people than YOU.
Seen it many times.
Just smile your sweet smile, and continue asking what the sermon was about.
Maybe somebody will figure it out...
I've always wondered about that one, too!
You shouldn't work on Sunday, but it's ok to go to places and let the heathens that do wait on you?
HUH???
