Hey everyone,
Just for fun, which list do you think you're on this year? Along with your answer, please state your reasons why in your post.
I'm also going to make the poll answers available for everyone to see just for the fun of it (and to see who's been good or bad
.)
As for me, I think you can all tell fairly easily that I was born on the naughty list, and my qualifications have only escalated as I've gotten older. I'm pretty much a life-long Naughty Lister.
Just last month, I took communion at a church in which you go to the front to receive your bread and wine. Due to sheer habit, and not even really thinking (I was trying to concentrate on what I was praying), I just popped the wafer down like a handful of popcorn and chomped away.
The two ladies serving the bread and wine just kind of looked at me, and then at each other... and one said to the other, "SHE ATE IT!!! Give her another one," with an "Oh, this poor heathen child," kind-of-tone in her voice. Unbeknownst to me, the protocol in this church was to dip the bread in the wine first, then carry it back to your seat, and THEN eat it and pray. Man oh man. I was pretty embarrassed that I'd messed up something as simple as the reception of communion. But fortunately, these serving ladies were willing to show me an abundance of grace!
So... Did you make the naughty or nice list this year, and why?
I know some people might say we're all on the naughty list because of sin; others may say we're all on the nice list because of God's covering of our sins (I figured I'd clear up the juking right away by including it in the original post.)
This thread is simply made for fun, and a distraction from the holiday stress.
Besides, it's always good to know who the troublemakers are (and I could use some new friends.)
Extra lumps of coal for everyone!!!
