Now that football season is about over, except for the playoffs and Super Bowl, it might be interesting to some similarities between the game of football to some church members.
QUARTERBACK SNEAK -- Church members quietly exiting the auditorium after communion.
DRAFT CHOICE -- First pick of the seats on the ends of the pews at the back of the auditorium by the doors.
DRAW PLAY - What too many children do with the attendance cards all during the worship services.
HALFTIME -- The period between Sunday School and worship when the morning is already half finished but when some choose to show up.
BENCHWARMERS -- Those who do not sing, read or pray or apparently do anything but sit.
STAYING IN THE POCKET -- That is what happens to a lot of money that should be given to the Lord.
TWO MINUTE WARNING -- the point at which the audience suddenly realizes the sermon is almost over and begins to scramble for songbooks.
SUDDEN DEATH -- when the preacher goes into overtime.
FLEX DEFENSE -- The absolute ability to allow nothing said during the sermon to affect your life.
BLITZ -- the rush to the restaurants following dismissal from services.
END RUN -- How to get out of the building without passing the preacher or an elder.
HALFBACK OPTION -- the decision of fifty percent of the congregation not to return for the Sunday evening worship service.
