It’s funny, every Sunday we are woken up by drums beating and very loud singing from a church about 1/4 mile away. Seems one of the prerequisites of starting a church is to have a PA system, no joke! Unfortunately many misuse them…screaming into the mic with loud, gravely voices or cranking up the amp so high you get screeches and base that would knock you off your seat if sitting to closely.
Last Sunday though was different….electricity was out. I could just imagine churches scrambling to find a generator and petrol (gas)…quick, someone get a generator so we can have service for goodness sakes! Ah, peace and quiet, that is until a generator must have been found because the shouting, I mean preaching, began.
Figured we were safe on Monday since it isn’t necessarily a “church” day but around 2 in the afternoon the PA was cranked up and we were subjected so some (sorry if I offend anyone) not so nice singing. I’m no singer so I’m not about to get up in front of a group on a loud speaker and sing but hey, that’s me!
I pray those who want to hear God can hear him over, and in spite of, the PA system.
