Dropping the "D bomb" from the pulpit

My preacher dropped the "D bomb" in church last Sunday.
The walls trembled.
The foundation shifted.
Old women gasped, then placed their hands over the ears of some children sitting near them.

God turned his face away from us.

And I missed it.
It zipped right past me unnoticed.

I must be calloused.
The preacher embarasses himself, the church and the Lord Himself, and I missed it?
What could I have been thinking?
What's for lunch? ----- Again!!!

No, I was awake and heard every word the preacher spoke.
Even the God-awful "D bomb."

DANCE!!!!

Baptists don't DANCE!!!!!
Don't you remember the old joke about why Baptists never have sex standing up -- because people might think they are dancing?

The preacher began his sermon by saying that he chaperoned his daughter's junior high DANCE!!!!!

Doesn't he know the Ten Commandments.
I'm sure "Thou Shalt Not Dance" is at least No. 6.
It has to be right there behind the other big Baptist ones.
Thou Shalt Not Cuss.
Thou Shalt Not Drink.
Thou Shalt Not Smoke.
Thou Shat Not F..... (no I am not going there).

Having broken all of the above commandments -- including the DANCE!!!! one -- I am not going to pass judgment on my pastor or declare to you today that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are burning in Hell.

But there are some old Baptists that were shocked when they heard the "D bomb" spoken from the pulpit.
A friend of mine said one old lady told her that if she knew our preacher better, she would walk into his office and give him a piece of her mind

A very narrow mind that it is.
