Terror And Weirdness At Church...
After I got to church, things were ok for a few minutes. Then, I started to itch. I kept thinking it was just the tag in my shirt, or a hair that had fallen down it. Finally, I reached and pulled out whatever it was. A spider.
It was a big, brown spider...
I wasn't sure what it was at first, until it started wiggling it's legs to get away. It was actually big enough that I thought it was part of a dead leaf at first. I hollered, threw it away from me, mom killed it, and I went to wash my hands. Eww. For the rest of the day, I'll probably be paranoid about bugs.
That wasn't the end of the weirdness. (Thankfully, it was the end of the bugs--at least for the moment.)
A lot of people have apparently left the church, since there was a huge gap of people.
Then, the sermon started. And it wasn't a sermon. More like rambling for 45 minutes about nothing. First the preacher said that he had failed everyone, and he was sorry, pray for him. Then, he started talking about his trash compactor which finally worked again. Then, he mentioned Paul (From the Bible), and said "I'm not Paul." There was more, and it sounded like he was going to quit the church, or resign. He didn't, though. It was just very, very weird.
My mom and I have come to the conclusion that something happened, or someone said something to him. Since that just isn't like him, the way he was acting.
Oh, the spider part happened before anyone else arrived at church. If it had happened during the sermon, I can only imagine the preacher's reaction.
