Tim, after trying to make it down the aisle at church this morning:

"I've never been cut off by so many old people."

Also, we were laughing today because at the church we've been going to, we sing out of hymnals. Now, in the Methodist church this means singing the first, second, and last verse of the hymn. According to Tim, in the Baptist church this means singing just the first and the last verse. But in this Presbyterian church, it means not only singing all four or five verses that accompany the music, but also the two or three verses printed below the music lines. Every single time. That's serious hymn singing.

I had no idea that hymns were sung any other way! On occasion they will announce only a few verses if there is a lot of extra stuff in the service or it has run extremely late...
