My mom is anti-bible in church
So I went home last weekend and one of things I did was go to church w/ my mom because a former cross country teammate named Chris was speaking at my mom's church. My dad had to work a very very rare Sunday due to all the power outages caused by the ice storm. Being that I just wanted to go to Church and my mom also wanted to go to Sunday School, I went later in my own car....a bit too later for my mom's taste, as I was a bit late. Now note the fact that this is one of those small country churches with the squeaky door and if anyone arrives just the slightest bit after singing has begun (or ended in my case ;) all twenty or so people who are there will turn around because you walking in the door late is more interesting than whatever else happens to be happening. So there I am, as I slink my way to where my mom is sitting, and the first thing I do is something I always try to do when I'm in church; I turn off my cell phone ringer. My mom sees this and thinks nothing of it. Right about the time I did this, Chris gave the passage that he was going to preach out of, and I decided to follow along by reading out of the entire bible I have on my phone (I actually have two different translations and a full commentary using a program stored on my phone called Pocket E-sword). My mother looks over at me "fiddling" (her word, not mine) with my phone, and she leans over to me and whispers harshly in only that tone a mother can and says "Do you HAVE to be messing with that thing now!" I show her the screen and explain to her that it is my bible, and she gets this glazed, embarrassed look in her eyes and says "Oh". I greatly enjoyed telling dad this story when I got home as he laughed for a long time.
