Karen, food & Rambi always turns into a comedy.
In this episode of nine winters ago, Rambi was a designated table leader at a church dinner for less fortunate folks:
Tonight--this is a terrible confession-- several people told me my table was rowdy at the Agape Dinner. That's pretty humiliating.
All the other hosts are talking about Jesus, and having serious "I care about you" discussions.
My group was having hysterics becuase PeeWee's t-shirt had a BAD WORD on it. I, groping for dinner topics, was reading t-shirts. Which was fine as long as they said things like Mississippi State Basketball, although there was a heated discussion over whether that was a basketball or a tennis ball on Earl's shirt, but when I read PeeWee's it said-
A BAD WORD.
And I said, PeeWee (who wasn't) you wore a bad word to church! ANd everyone thought that was just too funny. And they kept pounding poor PeeWee on the back while he tried to put his nametag over the BAD WORD.
I don't think I saved any souls tonight.
However, when they left they all shook hands with me and asked if I would be back next week because they wanted to sit at my table. I said, well, ok, as long as PeeWee wears his shirt. They just thought I was hysterical. The Carol Burnett of Agape Dinner.
In the van going back to Southlake, the organizer said, "WHAT was your table carrying on about?"
I said- oh we were overcome with the Joy of the Lord.
