Cypress Sun Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Sometimes the pre-race invocation in Nascar can be somewhat dull, but not last Saturday. This Preacher had them rolling in the aisles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 And all the people chuckled Amen! Not quite....I frequent several NASCAR type forums and the majority of race fans arn't very happy about his "prayer" Bet it is the last time he is invited to do the invocation at a NASCAR race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I doubt the good Lord is gonna send the preacher to hell over it. I am a NASCAR fan and thought it certainly 'spiced up' the normal well-to-do prayer usually given. A no call in my book. GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to be a celebrant, so it wasn't a hierarchical service, but sometimes there are small differences just because the ruling Bishop is there. I asked if there was anything different. He said "Yes. During the Entrance, you hop on one foot, swing the censer around your head and make a noise like a chicken." Sometimes a little levity is good for the soul. By the way, no, I didn't. ADDED: I'm not saying that I'm particularly fond of what that preacher did and would not personally say a prayer like that. But God MUST have a sense of humor...He made man, after all.

Cypress Sun Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I personally thought it was hilarious. I was watching the pre-race, just glad I didn't have a mouthful of beverage at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. H. O' Sullivan Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I thought it was all in good fun, and I'm sure God didn't mind. Since we are spiritually in the image of God, a sense of humor shouldn't be foreign in worship. I bet this Minister has probably seen an increase in his Sunday congregation. I wouldn't mind sitting through a service when in Nashville. T.H. O'Sullivan Black Mesa Ranch New Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
