Mom and I woke up early enough to get ready and go to church. Upon our arrival, we realized that our regular minister was out of town and we had a substitute. It was a young -41-year old man that normally preaches at our Gospel Mission.
I noticed right away that since there were not all the usual things to fill in the time before the sermon (just a few), the poor guy had to stand there about 45 minutes and talk compared to the half hour that our minister preaches.
He talked about a few sections of the bible, but mostly about Adam and Eve and how they ate from the tree of the garden that was off limits to them, set by God. The congregation seemed to be listening intently.
About a half an hour in to it all, I was thinking about how I thought he was doing well considering, MOM turns to me and whispers "how much longer does he have to talk?" It was all I could do not to laugh and I said "why? are you bored?" She answered "Sure! Aren't you???"  I smiled from ear to ear and assured her it was almost over. I looked over right after that and her eyes were closed! 
LOL, MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I hate it when I get sleepy in church. I have come to figure that there must be something I need to hear and someone is trying to keep me from hearing it.

After pulling 4 straight shifts, I pulled myself home and showered,,, to make the trip to church.
We got there a little late of course,,, so rather than the usual spot,, we headed up to the balcony, right next to the rail.
As the service went on,,, I started to go out. I got jabbed in the ribs with a hymn book,,,, "WAKE UP!!!". "I'm not asleep"
Yeah,,, I was in that zone of,,, eyes closed,,, kind of hearing,,, but you suddenly get the nap jerk,,,, to let you know you were indeed asleep.
Soon,,, another jab in the ribs with the hymn book. "WAKE UP!!!!" "I'm not asleep".
This contiued for what seemed like forever,, but really was just a few minutes....
Then,,, a particularly hard jab,,, with added emphasis,,, since I must have been delibrately ignoring her if I was sleeping again,,,,,
JAB... "WAKE UP",,,,
top of my lungs,,, "I"M NOT ASLEEP GOD DAMNIT."
Silence in the church,,, and the people on the first floor,,,, slowly turned,,,, and stared at the balcony where the offense had come from,,,,
and I turned slowly and looked at the guy behind me.
