When the song leader said let’s get behind Brother Abbott today when he preaches!!! As a 5 or 6 year old, you have NO idea how fun 🤩 that sounded!!! I was like WOW the preaching is ACTUALLY going to be interesting today!!!
.
And Bishop Abbott preached and preached and i kept waiting for us to get behind him and i was trying to figure out how we’d all fit behind him, because even though the church ⛪️ congregation on Pima road was very small, so was the platform!
.
And the whole time he’s preaching, i’m just trying to figure out how we’re all gonna stand behind him!!! I have no clue what he preached about but he preached and preached and preached and i was just waiting in anticipation for the moment WE ALL STOOD BEHIND HIM!!! Much to my utter and complete disappointment, WE NEVER GOT BEHIND THE PREACHER THAT DAY!!!
.
From time to time i’d hear the song leader say that again before it was time for the preaching, LETS ALL GET BEHIND THE PREACHER TODAY!!! And every time i’d wait to get behind him and we NEVERRRRR DID!!! I was like WHY do they always say this and everyone claps and the. they all just sit there and never get behind him???
.
You would think that the song leader would at least LEAD EVERYONE BEHIND THE PREACHER SINCE HE’S THE ONE THAT KEEPS SAYING IT!!!!
.
buuuuuuuut alas, WE NEVERRRRR GOT BEHIND THE PREACHER…
NOT EVEN ONCE!!!
Gradually, I began to understand the meaning as i got older, (like a year ago!!!;)
