To make it possible for everyone to attend church next Sunday, we are go- ing to have a special No Excuse Sunday. Cots will be placed in the foyer for those who say, Sunday is the only day to sleep in. There will be a special section with lounge chairs for those who feel our pews are too hard. Eye drops will be available for those with tired eyes from watching TV late on Saturday nights. We will have steel helmets for those who feel The roof would cave in if I ever came to church. Blan- kets will be furnished for those who think the church is too cold and fans for those who say it is too hot. Score cards will be available for those who wish to list the hypo- crites present.

4 Relatives and friends will be in attendance for those who can't go to church and cook dinner too. We will distribute Stamp Out Stewardship buttons for those who feel that the church is always asking for money. One section will be devot- ed to trees and grass for those who like to see God in nature. Doctors and nurses will be in attendance for those who plan to be sick on Sunday. The Sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who never have seen the church without them. We will provide hearing aids for those who can't hear the preacher and cotton for those who say he is too loud. Author Unknown .. And the Otherwise: If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap.
