Our family always sits on the absolute front row in church. The obvious reason is because it's a lot easier to get up on the stage quickly if you're sitting right by it. I also think we sit there because all of the other seats are claimed. For some strange reason, no one wants the front.
It's actually pretty nice up there. If the sound goes out, you can still hear what's being said. You don't have to worry about anyone tall sitting in front of you and blocking your view. And it's like sitting court-side, you're close to all the action.
Today the Christmas season officially started at church. All the decorations are out, we sang Christmas songs, and the sermon was the first in a series called "An Angelic Christmas" (just in case the huge slide didn't give it away). The sermon was a great reminder to stay the course and not falter, even if life is challenging and confusing.
Oh, and just in case you don't know who that dashing gentleman is, that's my dad. Or Pastor Tom, as everyone else calls him. He's pretty cool, if I do say so myself. :)
