The Saints are coming, the Saints are coming.

I am sitting in my local restaurant mainly because my wife is working today and we drove in together. Since it is 12:22 p.m., churches have let out and this place is filling up fast. Let me describe the room. There are a total of 34 individuals in this room.

3 are kids

17 are over 60

the rest are between the ages of 18 and 60

There are 5 people of color.

12 tables are being used by these 34 individuals

All of these people and not one group is talking to the other group. Everyone of these people are wearing "Sunday go to meeting" type clothes. (you guys know what i'm talking about, so don't ask). If we are going by clothes, then everyone of them went to church. How come if that is the case they are not talking to each other?

The reasons?

1: they don't know them

2: they are really eating their lunch and in a hurry

3: they don't have time

Oh, this is funny. Two more just walked in and walked back out. The line was way long and they chose not to wait.

Here are my thoughts.

Why can't these folks talk to each other? They go to church according to their clothes. I am watching them and as my kids would say I am staring at them. Why will they not speak to each other. Tables are so close, but yet, the people are so far from each other.

I am thinking out loud. When visitors come into our churches, who speaks to them?

Just asking...
