Lord 4give Me...

I hope after reading this post I don't have any enemies. I guess if I have to write a disclaimer you are probably thinking why bother writing it. lol. But let me tell you about this church that I attended today. I went to this church today mainly to support my ls and her son because they were doing a praise dance. I don't like this church mainly because the pastor goes on massive tangents. Now granted I go on tangents all the time, but I am not a pastor so I can do that. Now back to the story, I told my ls before coming I am not a big fan of your church but I am coming to support you. I got there early. So when I walked in there were a few people there. But not a a lot. I wasn't greeted by anyone, instead I got awkward stares like I had mustard on my face. I smile and ask a man does he know what time the service starts, he stares at me blankly, so I ask him again, he stares at me blankly again, So i ask again then he goes I cant hear you, so I say it again. I saw he had a program. I then ask, do you have anymore and he goes this was last week, they will give you a new one. I say ok. and I go to sit down. Then next thing I know a group of older adults, are looking at me strangely(more so gritting on me) I smile and then say good morning how are you all on this blessed Sunday morning. I hope you all are having a blessed and wonderful day. Nothing.... They just stared then turned around and started talking to each other. By then I was ready to leave... But then I kept thinking if I leave here now and go to my regular church then I will be late to their service. I h8 tardiness and I h8 arrivng anywhere l8. I like to know whats going on from beginning to end. Back to the church... the pastor kept going on these tangents and he was talking to people in the crowd. and it was not a call and response kind of talk he was having full blown conversations with the people. and they were standing up and talking to him...ex. where is brother john...brother john:here i am pastor pastor:ok, how you doing today brother john ....then he would go has anyone seen sister Rebbecca, oh shes not here, oh ok... The audience is looking back and forth. They did a alter call. But all the ab libs were uncall for.  I was so confused the whole time .. People kept standing up talking and it was unorganized and I was ready to go. Then it got really strange when a woman got on the mic and told everyone to get out our cellphones and then she say call the pastor anytime. So I think she is going to give us the pastor's number. Next thing I know she walks off then its awkward silence for like 2 mins, then I hear a hit it. and one of the members has glasses on and a dreadlocks wig. He was suppose to impersonating Stevie wonder and they start playing Stevie wonder's I just called to say I love you. then they sing that all the way down the alse with their cellphone in their hands. Then they get to the alter and sing the wholeeeee song. It was cheesy.  I still kept asking myself what is the flow of this service. This nonsense went on for a full hour, and he didn't start services...He asked people to run around the church. he had the mic in his hand, but he would never talk in it so it was hard to him. His sermon was ok. He basically stated that  we need to riot for Jesus because Jesus he bought us out of our bad situations,woke us up this morning, and for that he deserves total praise.
