I believe our churches are failing us and more importantly we are failing us, especially our children. We have let the government take away our religious rights. You can reserve a spot or take your chance as two-thirds of the pews are roped off. Today I watched as visitors could not find seats, as two and three to a pew would not move over, one a family with two eager youngsters and baby in arms walk to the front and dad had to chase the youngsters down and walk them to the back as no one invited them to sit or move a rope. I guess they didn't know you could make a reservation. I thought that was for restaurants not God’s house. I was so tempted, as I was on the other side, to stand up and shout, “You can sit by me.” Every day, everywhere we are in much closer proximity to others while shopping. So please get rid of the ropes, let us decide to come or not. So what let them arrest us. It is way past time to stop this madness.
