Concerned?

Yesterday we attended my hubby's church for the purpose of our little Petey being "dedicated". Basically she was being prayed for and we were promising in front of the "church" that we would raise our daughter for the Lord and so on... blah, blah.

Anyway, it was a kind of cute litte ceremony and the Other Grandparents attended along with Aunt CC and her daughter were there. I forced all of our boys to go and even sweet Hannah came for the day. Princess Petey slept through the ceremony so it all went well.

The best part though came after Pastor Kevin was done.

Pastor Dave (I don't know why they need so many pastors or even how many they have but...) stood up and began flipping through his Bible and was talking about how sometimes we will ask the Lord to give us a "word" and then when we find a scripture we don't like what is says. "Bible Roulette" he called it. So he said he was doing this to determine what he would talk to the church about. The great topic he choose... that the Lord gave him... was...

Prostitution!

yep... my daughter's sweet dedication was followed by a discussion on
prostitution. You heard me. Prostitution!



Okay... so he didn't mean the great boots kind of prostitution but still. Come on. I think someone should have warned us what his topic was so we could have not been there. As Hannah would say... "Awkward!"
The best part... actually came when I went to retrieve my two youngest sons out of the boys bathroom...by pushing open the door and wacking some guy who was coming out. Oops!
I have decided to never return to my hubby's church. I think the Lord was trying to tell me something and I am pretty sure I don't like the message.

Oh my! Sounds VERY interesting. It's been a long time since I heard a good prostitution sermon (oh wait I don't think I've ever heard one.)

And can I ask the significance of "Princess Petey" -- since it's not derived from Mikayla I'm a little confused...
