A Little Romance Please (Mary Leach)

After I waited patiently while my husband played a round of golf on our 18th wedding anniversary, he and I went out to dinner at a lovely restaurant. We discussed many happy memories we've shared during the years. Then I said, "Want to go for another 18?" "No," he replied, "I think it's too dark now."

And Then There Was The One About: The Wrong Song (Connie Adams)

No doubt you have heard about song leaders leading "Oh Why Not Tonight" for an invitation song on Sunday morning, or "Ready to Suffer" just before the sermon. Let me tell you another one.

G. Dallas Smith was in a meeting years ago near Fulton, Kentucky. J. B. Cox, then a young school teacher, was the song leader. They were baptizing one Sunday afternoon in a stream and a large crowd had gathered on the bank to watch. Cox began to lead "How Firm A Foundation." Meanwhile, a dark, ominous cloud threatened overhead, the wind began to blow, the smell of rain was in the air and about that time Smith stepped in a hole and nearly disappeared. When he regained his balance and his composure, he lifted his voice above the song and said, "Brother Cox, that song is not appropriate for this occasion. Turn over there and sing 'On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand.' (From Searching The Scriptures, May 1990)
