This reminds me of being a teenager in the local baptist church. How many of you played 'between the sheets' with the hymnal on Sunday nights? If not, it's a really simple game... you just take a song title and append it with 'between the sheets'. It made for some infantile humor sitting in the pews for a bunch of teenage boys (and girls). So... I wondered what would happen if we played this game, not with the hymnal, but with some of the songs on the current CCLI top worship songs list...
Blessed be your name
Open the eyes of my heart
Shout to the lord
Forever
You are my king
We fall down
You are my all in all
Breathe
Indescribable
You’re worthy of my praise
How great thou art
Trading my sorrows
Beautiful one
OK… that’s enough. Don’t tell my mother we used to play this game.
What games did you play during church to make the time fly? (Or better yet, when you were a teenager, what made you laugh hysterically sitting in the back row, the most likely got you called down from the pulpit?) (Those who grew up with my upbringing know what it’s like to be ‘called down’)

I know that it’s Friday, and you usually pick those sorts of silly stories like the Catholics advertising on their mitres, but there are some times when the story is too true to life.

Classic game! We always just added ‘in bed’ to every phrase we could. Made for some great fun…which I now abstain from since I am a mature adult…http://www.mondaymorninginsight.com/images/smileys/wink.gif

That’s just plain sick.

Dude, we used to take old rulers (with the metal edge) and rub it on the bottom of our shoes and then burn each other with it….it was great…we would also take “nail-clippers” and pinch the skin off of our fingers and stuff (don’t ask).....these would always lead to my dad “calling us down”...and sometimes making us move to the other side of the sanctuary….
—-what were we thinking!!!!!! (good times though….)

Sometimes I think I’m better off for not growing up in the church… http://www.mondaymorninginsight.com/images/smileys/wink.gif
But it does make me wonder what my 13 year old is doing not that she’s refusing to sit with me in church…

I’m so telling your mom.

I always listened, prayed, studied the bible and helped where ever needed. And whittled on pews with a pocket knife, pasted book covers on all the bibles, made change in the offering plate, spelled Jesus in dirt clods on the stucco wall…

How about singing Amazing Grace (or A Mighty Fortress) to the tune of Gilligans Island… Does that count as bad behavior.
I never destroyed church property or anything, and I am also telling Todd’s mom all about this. Dude you are TOAST!

My brother spent most of his teen years singing the soprano line, and then my husband spent the bulk of my college years changing all the words to the hymns. Both just to make me laugh and get me in trouble. Deviant boys. http://www.mondaymorninginsight.com/images/smileys/smile.gif

Too bad kids these days can’t be creative like this. Internet access on their phones has them simply facebooking and texting.

Take the graph and then read the lyrics to the praise song “Sweetly Broken”. Its all too true.

paper football on the hymnal was the best…..
Being in Alabama, we also had fun on choose your hymn night by picking the one that said, “Look there is flowing a crimson tide…..”
