Exiting the john,

Ready for the church service,

Microphone was on.

~~~~~~~~~~

True story, personal, faced by most pastors at some time during their ministry, unfortunately usually during times of great gastro-intestinal distress. For me, someone knocked on the bathroom door & said, "Pastor, could you please turn your microphone off."

    How have I not read this before? Oh my goodness. How embarrassing. Fair play to the person who told you. Mortifying! Still making me chuckle!

    Why am I not surprised. And the Lord said, let there be p**p and there was p**p. And no one ever lacked for p**p thenceforth and forever. I hope you began the sermon with 'I would completely understand if no one ever came to church ever again".
