  1. I never did like sitting for hours while a minister droned on and on. I'm more along the vein of what Miss Emily subscribed to:

    324] Some keep the Sabbath going to the Church –
    by Emily Dickinson

    Some keep the Sabbath going to the Church –
    I keep it, staying at Home –
    With a Bobolink for a Chorister –
    And an Orchard, for a Dome –

    Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice –
    I just wear my Wings –
    And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
    Our little Sexton – sings.

    God preaches, a noted Clergyman –
    And the sermon is never long,
    So instead of getting to Heaven, at last –
    I’m going, all along.

  2. If i could add up all the hours I haven't spent in church... that'd be a lot of hours (probably mostly spent asleep in bed).
