Ramblings

When your Pastor mentions your name in his sermon and you weren't expecting it, you have a tendency to sit straighter and pay even more attention. You never know if questions about the sermon, are going to be asked afterward. He was talking about Jesus entering Jerusalem, on a colt, ahead of his disciples. Jesus was the leader and others were following. Like when soldiers follow their leaders. "Like Tom O-----, a Marine in Vietnam, had his followers." He was trying to point out what it is like to be a leader. One, I wasn't in Vietnam. Two, I was in Artillery and in the office to boot.....had no one to lead into battle. So much for the facts. He only knew that I was a Marine Sargent and served during the Vietnam war. He is a wonderful Pastor and always tries to personalize his sermons with people the congregation can relate to. Now that members of the congregation think I am a war Hero.....who am I to disappoint them? I just hope they don't ask me about my battle experiences.....I'd have to fess-up.
