This coming Sunday our church is having a big conference in Carrollton. It begins at 10 a.m., but they are advising us to arrive early because there will likely be over 1,000 people there and the meetinghouse can only accommodate 800.
I can’t connect the dots here. If everyone comes early, won’t we still have the same problem, just for longer? I’m thinking that if I come a few minutes late, I’ll just take someone’s seat that passes out because they’ve been there since 6am.
To be honest, my first thought was, “Maybe I’ll go at 9 a.m.” Then Kara said those six magic words that made me reconsider (Good, you can save us seats.)
Noooo! I won’t do it! I am a terrible seat-saver, especially at church. Maybe at the movies if Kara is buying popcorn and I brought a coat (and the theater is warm). But church? What am I supposed to say? “I’m sorry, but these seats are saved for my family that decided to sleep in a little today. We want to be close to the preaching; I think today’s topic is selflessness. So just take your five little ones and that baby carrier to the hard seats in the back. Enjoy the meeting - I know I will in comfort and proximity!”

Travis again asked what I was laughing about while I was reading your blog. Seems I am always reading your blog when he asks me that.
Thanks for the laugh.
this is even funnier than your comment on spokt. Seat saving is never fun, especially at church.
I loath seat savers.
Grandma Farrer was the queen of seat savers! Some of rubbed off on one of her daughters. I don't loathe seat savers, but I don't condone seat saving.
If you could just save us some too, that would be great. JK You make me laugh.
