An older lady wended her way up the aisle at a new church to sit comfortably in the front row.
She followed everyone around her standing and sitting, even waving her arms in the air with her eyes closed during the worship portion of the service.
Once the pastor began to give the sermon she nodded off a bit. Quietly sitting in the front row here eyes closed and her head fell forward.
The pastor seeing the new parishioner seeming to fall asleep decided to make an example of her.
He walked off the stage and shook her shoulder gently and said "Sister? Are you sleeping?"
She slowly opened her eyes and gave the pastor a wary glance and said, "Just because my eyes were closed and my head was a bit forward does not mean I was sleeping, I wanted to focus on your magnificent words and closed my eyes to hep me pay attention."
The pastor said, "And your snoring?"
She said " I thought you needed some background music."
