Today at work, a rep from Cobb EMC came in to finish signing the new large project locate agreements.
While waiting for someone to come from upstairs to help him, we shared a very akward silence of me working and him standing up at the counter.
After what seemed like forever, he asked me where did I go to church.
I told him Carrollton United Pentecostal Church. He asked if I lived out there, I could see him caculating that long drive, be it for work or church.
I said no, I lived locally, and he mentioned how there used to be a Pentecostal church founded by Bro. Wright back in the day.
My jaw dropped. I told him my dad pastored that church for 5 1/2 years. He said it's gone now isn't it, I said yes.
This was getting freaky!!
He said he used to go up until Bro. Larry Hines took the church...
Then he asked if the UPCI was still strict.
I was like, well I guess that depends on what you say is strict!
All this came about after he saw me in my long skirt...I had been sitting down except for getting up and doing something right before he asked me about my church.
This is the second time this year I've had ties from church find me at Baldwin!

Freaky!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing worse than awkward silences is someone finally speaking and suddenly knowing everything about you.
Agreed!
