Someone CLIPPED THEIR NAILS At Worship!!!
We've just been chatting a bit here
http://www.blogger.com/publish-comment.do?blogID=26108851&postID=115189049371869377&r=ok
And I left a lengthy comment about signature scents, clipping nails in public, and Day-Glo White Old Lady Legs.
Whoever it was who CLIPPED YOUR NAILS IN PUBLIC, just know that when PeaceBang read of your vile behavior -- inexcusably rude to both the spirit of worship and to the standards of basic human dignity -- she had to close her eyes and breathe through her nose so as to keep from being overcome by dreadfully unkind thoughts.
Shame on you.

Rev Sean, are you serious? Beverages aren't even allowed in the sanctuary at my church! I think you could lay down the law. It's best for her. She either needs to start waking up earlier, or work on her caffeine addiction. Geez Louise!
Oh my God, Sean.
Now *I* have a fantasy that one of your ushers will come up to her with a steaming cup of Starbucks java and say, loudly enough to be heard, "Ma'am? Here's the double mocha skim latte you ordered. Did you want nutmeg on that?" while you wait patiently from the pulpit.
I double dog dare you. It would be funny and make a point. And if she's extroverted enough to pour COFFEE throughout the church service, she won't be so mortified she'll never come back to church.
And no one needs to know it was your idea.
This is the kind of thing lay people have to address amongst themselves. CRIPES.
If I have a cough I will steal a bottle of water into the sanctuary so i don't go into a coughing fit in the middle of Silence or the Sermon.
Some people bring coffee and that doesn't bother me so much. A couple women will sometimes knit.. there is an odd thing about knitting it seems an addiction, persons who knit will literally knit anywhere. I don't get it. But I only find it disrespectiful if I can hear the needles clicking together which has only happened once, and when I told her (she is a friend) she was embarssed not realizing how loud it was.
I had a knitter on my internship committee, and having had several other knitters in my life, I find that it actually helps people "hear" or "understand" the sermon/class/learning experience. These people often are what we call kinisthetic learners, and they learn best while doing something. Knitting provides the activity and they enjoy the sermon more while they do it. I have had conversations with this knitter, and she can tell me details from worship when she brings her knitting that she wouldn't have been able to if she wasn't knitting.

Years ago when I was in seminary I remember a fellow student coming back from a supply preaching gig in a break away Fellowship in Milwaukee and complaining to us about the noise made by congregation members popping open beer cans during the sermon! It seems there was a vending machine for beer in this sixties throwback group....
