The Amen reflex…

There is something that I feel I need to share and warn all you lovely people about. I’m calling it the Amen reflex. Recently I’ve discovered (embarassingly) that I have the tendency automatically say Amen when someone says it, if i’m in a bit of a day dream and not really listening…these are when I discovered that I had this problem…(which I am not proud of, amen should only be said if you agree with what the person has said, and hearing what they’ve said before you agree is kind of crucial!)

1. I was in the Caravan at Spring Harvest, two of the girls were praying and I was on the other side of the room reading. Then as one of them closed the prayer with Amen, I responded with Amen…it was a small room, it sounded like i’d been listening to their prayer…the reflex Hit!

2. Was in the Bible Reading in the Big Top, they were reading out the Bible passage, it was long, I was tired (there’s really no excuse) and at one point in the middle of the passge the word Amen was spoken…to my horror before I knew what I was saying I was also uttering that word…very loudly…I got some strange looks, sure.

Beware my firends…

  19. Uh… I think that’s called obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s been known to tear apart lives. You should seek help and electric-shock-therapy AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

    An amen a day keeps your sex-life at bay.
