They Pay Me to Stay Home
We are winning 21-0 at half-time.
And with that information, what was once a casual observation has now been confirmed as fact:
Good things happen when I stay home.
You may think I’m just saying that but, please, hear me out.
This all started a few months back when I noticed that anytime I was in Children’s Church or out of the Sunday morning service for some reason, people would just ooh and ahh over Luke’s sermon. I thought they were just being sweet since I wasn’t there, but no, I was assured Luke was ON FI-YAH moreso than usual.
And then, there was the Sunday I was in Texas. Our college class typically has 6-8 people on any given meeting. When I was gone, THERE WERE 13.
And now, I learn our football team – who I am an avid supporter of even if I don’ t understand a lick of what’s happening on the field – is winning by the same three touchdowns by which they were supposed to lose.
When I wasn’t there.
Which leads me to the conclusion:
I’m Hindering the Fire. I’m Quenching the Spirit. I’m Jinxing the Mojo.
I’m Staying Thee Home.
You’re Welcome.

P.S. As if I needed anymore confirmation, the girls just this minute ran into the room to ask me to come play the Wicked Witch.
Even the children have recognized my cursing skillz. (And no, I didn’t say cussing skillz. That would be another post entirely.)
Hmmm…I wonder what amazing things are happening while I’M at home!
He does preach much harder when you are not in there. Don’t know if that actually has anything to do with it or not but Sunday was AWESOME!
I have the same effect on my husband. ALWAYS, when I am out of the sanctuary with the little kids, people rave about his sermon like nothing else! :-) At least I’m not the only one that happens to!
Have a great weekend!
Last Friday night my husband and I drove 2 1/2 hours to see our son coach a high school football game – they lost. We drove 2 1/2 hours home, getting here at 1:00 a.m. to greet Hurricane Ike. Tonight we decided not to make that trek because they were supposed to lose again. They won. I feel your pain. blessings, marlene

I have been out of commission for the summer and since school has started, things have been so crazy with starting a new classroom for students with Autism, and two, yes I said TWO hurricane evacuations….I have only had access to internet since Ike hit…and I catching up here has been a priority!!! You crack me up sista! I so needed this post tonight!

I needed a good laugh today!! You are so funny. I don’t know what I want to comment on, the MoJo, the Wicked Witch and your cursing skillz!
Found out my ex is coming up this morning, SO, I may have to be the Wicked Witch today, Just Kidding!!
Have a great weekend.
Love Ya,
Patty
But it all makes sense when you reveal that what you’re really doing at home is PRAYING for your team. Right? Lifting up Moses’ metaphorical arms and all that?
That is what you’re doing, right?
I think it may be my boy instead of you. He did not go to the game last night and was not at church the Sunday you were in Texas! LOL Go Hornets!!
I haven’t visited you in a while(for good reason!)!!
I have been accused of being bad luck especially when it comes to sports, so I totally understand!
Stop by my place and meet the new little guy (who’s 3 weeks old already!!)!
This post made me LOL because I so can relate!!!
I look forward to your cursing skillz post ; )
You are too funny!
I know what you mean. I went to my college football games this year – we lost all three. I sat at home Saturday, we won.
I put my money in stocks, the market crashes, I take them out and the DOW skyrockets.
