(A funny from http://www.mikeysfunnies.com/)
There was this lady who was visiting a church for the first time one Sunday. The sermon seemed to go on forever, and many in the congregation actually fell asleep.
After the service, to be social, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman, extended her hand in greeting, and said, “Hello, I’m Gladys Dunn.”
The man replied, “You’re not the only one, ma’am. I’m glad it’s done, too!”

Have you been there?? A sermon. A funeral. Even a wedding when the speaker didn’t seem to know when to finish or how to finish. And it bothers us. And we get uncomfortable. And we stop listening, we disengage, and worship ceases in our hearts.
Worship is a state of our hearts, NOT a program or specific order of things. When we worship we proclaim the WORTH of God in our hearts! And God is worth FAR MORE than we can imagine … and He is certainly WORTH our rapt attention!
In fact, instead of being glad it’s done, shouldn’t we be thirsting for more?? Where are YOU in all of this?
