TRUE STORY
 
Really...
 
As I've mentioned before, I really don't know sometimes why I say the things I do.  Or, as Diane often says, "I don't know why I take you anywhere..."
 
Anyway, there's an organist in Portage, MI who may be standing in the sanctuary with a very strange look on her face right now.  I guess I forget that some organists can be rather serious people...
 
Southwest Michigan Lutheran Teachers met at St. Michael, Portage, this morning for our annual back-to-school in-service.  And today's in-service was a great one.
 
Following morning worship and presentations in the sanctuary, we broke for lunch, and many of us left our handouts and other materials in the church pews.  When I returned after lunch to pick up my stuff and head for home, I found the church organist just packing up her things and getting ready to leave.
 
"Hi, you practice?"
 
"Well, yes..."
 
"Wow, our church organist never practices."
 
"He doesn't?  Why he must be a virtuoso!"
 
"Oh no, he stinks.  Didn't you hear me?  He never practices..."
