“Say a Command”
By Art Garland
Senior Scribe

First of all, I admit, I do take my cell phone to church.  I have a Blackberry and with it comes a feature where one can press a button, and it asks for a command.  Now, with that said, we set the stage…

The church sanctuary is small in size with everyone knowing everyone else. My friend and I have been attending this friendly little church for about 3 weeks.  We make our way to our favorite pew and sit down.  I made sure my cell phone was turned off and settled in for the sermon by putting my phone in my purse and removing my ink pen.  Oh what a great sermon it was!  The pastor announced the closing prayer and for everyone to bow their heads and close their eyes. 

“Our precious Heavenly Father…” he began.  I decide to slip my ink pen back and seconds later I hear a voice coming from my purse saying, “SAY A COMMAND”.  OH NO!  My friend eyeballs me.  I had accidentally pressed the button on the phone!  I opened my purse to turn the phone off at just the moment when it says in an even louder voice, “SAY A COMMAND”.  I quickly turned off the phone, only to hear a male voice from behind me reply… “Thou shalt not take thy cell phone to church!”  The pastor says amen and I run for the door!
