Seconds Anyone?

I ran into a friend at church recently.

She looked confused.

“Whatcha doing?” I asked.

“I’m thinking about going back for seconds.” She answered.

What? Did she say she was going back for seconds at church?

My church has 3 services. One on Saturday night, and two on Sunday. I have to confess that in my entire life of going to my church it has never occured to me to go seconds on a service.

My goal is usually to figure out which service fits best into my schedule and escape the minute it’s over.

My goal is usually to maximize my comfort. I thought that was the whole point of 3 services. But to actually go back for seconds? Who would have thought…

The truth is that I love my church, and I love my pastor. There isn’t a Sunday that goes by that I don’t love the sermon and greatly benefit from it. There isn’t a week that I don’t tell myself I ought to buy the CD and listen to it again.

But seconds?

It never even crossed my mind.

Maybe it’s time to start being radical.

Maybe this week I’ll line up for seconds to hear what God has to say to me.

It’s at least worth considering.
