A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning.
He said "Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and you are going
to help me preach. Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever
hymn that comes to your mind."
The pastor shouted out "CROSS." Immediately the congregation started singing
in unison, "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS."
The pastor hollered out "GRACE."
The congregation began to sing "AMAZING GRACE, how sweet the sound."
The pastor said "POWER." The congregation sang "THERE IS POWER IN THE
BLOOD."
The Pastor said "SEX". The congregation fell into total silence. Everyone
was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other, afraid
to say anything.
Then all of a sudden, way from in the back of the church, a little old
87-year-old grandmother stood up and began to sing "PRECIOUS MEMORIES".
Pass this along to some other old fogey so they can smile today. (I just
did).
