Listen to these classic excuses for not attending church:
– I just feel closer to God in the out-of-doors.
– I don’t think you have to go to church to worship God.
– The church is full of hypocrites.
– My parents forced me to go to church when I was young.
– I used to be very active. I guess now I’m just “burnt out.”
– We just get with our family and have home church.
– Sunday is my only day to sleep in.
– They pay me extra to work on Sunday and I need the money.
– All churches are different. How do you know which is right?
– We’re planning to attend, we just haven’t got around to it yet
(This is the grand daddy of all excuses).

The Party Committee
My son Danny is nine. I coach his little league team. Last night Danny got up to bat three times. He hit a single, triple and grand slam home run. I think he would have made it all the way around even if they hadn’t overthrown third so I say it was a grand slam. On defense he played short and he is the best we’ve got. In one inning he made all the putouts. In all there were fifteen outs and Daniel was in on seven of them and the other eight were strikeouts.

Cut Away
They say its good for a swimming pool to be agitated regularly. I guess it keeps mold and scum from growin’ in the water. Pool agitation is one of the Pierpont family’s hidden talents. Few families do it better. There are ten of us and you should see us boil the water.
