Alexis and I were recently in Austin, Texas, and we visited a “small” church there for Sunday services. The church service was held in a high-school gym, and as we were leaving I noticed that there were a lot of people in the back of the room who had been sitting on the bleachers during the service.

This got me thinking - how about a “bleacher creature” section in church?? That would be the place where there would be plenty of beer, banners, beachballs, and tailgating parties before and after service! Complete with a concession stand selling peanuts and hot dogs! That’s where most of the guys would be, I bet! Imagine - during service they could start chanting : “Saaaaa-tan… Saaaaaa-tan… Hey Satan, YOU SUCK!”

And, when the sermon gets too long, you can count on the bleacher creatures to start a wave!

Of course we would have to shut off the alcohol in the seventh inning…
