Above the Crowd

The other day at church it was "family service".  Basically, there were no classes for kids so we had our kids with us during the main worship service.  My kids love to sit up high, so I agreed.  Normally my wife and I sit on the "floor" level closer to the front.  Well, sitting up high was definitely a mistake for me.  When you are up high at my church, you can see everything and everybody.  You can see empty seats people are looking for, you can see the wide variety of things people are wearing, you can see the stage and the band from a different perspective, and you can see how people are worshiping (or doing something else).  In other words, I did not get anything out the service because of where we were sitting.  Maybe that was why I preferred to sit in the back during school and still prefer it today.  There is always something to look at in case the presentation is boring, which it usually is if it last more than 7 minutes.

Just wondering. What do you learn in 7 minutes? I know I'm a slow learner. I have to hear more indepth presentation or I'm not interested.

I've always wanted to sit at the front because I can't stand those distractions you described. Gets me upset at them. My problem, I guess. I put them behind me and I don't know it's going on as much.
