Co-worker: Whatcha doing for New Year's?
Me: Church.
Co-worker: Oh.
Me: Yeah. And my church is full of Caribbeans
Co-worker: I don't understand. What does it mean that your church is full of Caribbeans?
Other Co-workers: Yeah [confused faces abound]
Me: They totally know how to party.
Co-worker the First: Oh! So you're going to a party at your church. I thought you were going to church.
Me: I totally am going to church. And we're going to party.
Co-workers: Oh.
Me: Yup!
That's right, folks, you can go to church, worship God, hang out with God's, and it can totally be a party! The Bible even says so:
Praise the Lord !
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord !
Praise the Lord !
Psalm 150 ESV
