“I know you want me to shut up, but for some reason I feel
like I’m helping somebody so listen, what’s up with the lady on the 2nd
row that stands up and just go to swinging on the whole row of people, just going
down the row swinging her arms and fist at people like she trying to knock
somebody out or something. Who the hell is she mad at? You church folks got me
confused up in here right now. Shouting until your hat falls off, you stop
shouting long enough to put your hat back on and then go back to shouting again.
Your Wig gets all crooked, bout to fall off your head from shouting and you stop
shouting long enough to straighten your wig out then go back to shouting again.
Come on now you know you Out Of Bounds with that. Why do you even call this
shouting? You should call it having a fit, or crazy, crazy, or I’m gone get you
sucker because it’s crazy and somebody always gets got.” You could now hear a
pin drop it seems like Payroll has their undivided attention they were so quiet.
Being embarrassed is not even a thought
any more now that Payroll has everybody’s attention. No one had any idea that a
simple question would turn out like this. If anybody was going to get some
relief today you better believe it was going to be Payroll. “Why is it that every
Sunday the majority of the men on the front row are sleep, and when it comes
time for altar prayer some of those same men are outside taking a smoke break? You
asked a question about how you can get more people to attend; but I’ve seen you
kick people out of here because of how they smelled or how they looked. And
they really needed some help or at the very least some Godly counsel. Maybe
it’s a lack of training or just a lack of love on your part but for starters
you need to work on the people that are already here especially the ones in
leadership. For me it’s not about what you say but more about what you do. How
you living speaks louder than how you saying, And when you start living what
you say what you teach and preach about, you won’t have to ask how can you get
more people to come they’ll just start showing up. Payroll finishes his
sentence takes a look around the room and gracefully he walks out. As he heads
outside to get in the car he’s stopped by a woman at the door. While looking at
him eye to eye she apologizes and tells him thank you for being brave enough to
say what most of us didn’t have the courage to. He continues out the door and
into the parking lot meeting up with the friends he had come with. While
walking to the car no one says a word. Once they get to the car they pause long
enough to give Payroll a big hug. They get in the car and head down the road
toward Payroll’s house. While driving, silence is broken as one of his knuckle
head friends fart and stink up the car. They laugh all the way to Payrolls
house. He gets out of the car looks back and say’s “thanks for everything
punks!”
