#1 He was a parishioner?

Haven't you ever been tempted (after getting up from dinner for the umpteenth time) to go to their meeting/whatever and just stare psychotically at the minister? Never? C'mon... wha? Nobody???

#2 When I was younger me and my Dad just took turns sleeping. Seriously, the guy could turn a 15-minute speech into 1 1/2 hours. He often did do that. Probably why attendance dropped so much back then.

#3 I can buy this story. I once went to Barranquilla, Colombia on business and would have felt a lot safer with a razor in my shoe -- or my pocket. A friend who had been there before me suggested that I leave my wedding ring home because it wasn't worth it to risk losing a finger. My wife agreed. I kissed the ground when I got back to Miami.

#4 Haven't you ever heard of a "safety" razor?

Never. I can say no more.

#6 I know this missionary and know that his story is true. We are also going to this same area in a year and may also do the same sort of thing for safety. With packing up a household for one year to come back to the states, it is easy to see how he forgot to take the blades out. And to the person who mentioned his church attendance dropping--You couldn't be farther from the truth. It has grown from 80 to over 300 members in a short time because of the true, pure and honest love that Mac has for the people of Brazil.
