    • Valuable Lesson

    Posted October 22nd, 2009 by: Shantell 

           I learned a very valuable lesson Sunday morning while singing at Valley View Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN.  This was our second time to sing there and we had been looking forward to it for quite some time.  However, the last time we were there I had a little fun at the pastor’s expense. Big mistake!  He had broken his leg a few months before and he showed us a video of his softball accident, and for some reason it just struck me funny. I couldn’t stop laughing at him.

    I am a Georgia Bulldog fan and proud of it.  Recently the Georgia Bulldogs and the Tennessee Vols played and the outcome was in favor of Tennessee (Georgia got whooped) 45-19.  So as the pastor was introducing us to his congregation he mentioned the fun I had at his expense. He had not forgotten. He then pulled out a pink Georgia hat and presented it to me in front of his congregation.

     Pastor Justin and Tell

    The lesson?  Don’t mess with Justin Pratt or any other pastor if you ever think you’ll be going back to their church to sing.

     

    P.S. – I would rather wear a pink Bulldog cap than a Vols hat any day.

      Right there with you Shantell. I would also rather wear a pink, or any other color for that matter, Georgia Bulldogs hat before a Tennessee Vols hat any day.

      Shantell,

      My name is Mike Pritchett. I am the principal at Chatsworth Elementary and I was at the wedding Saturday because I work with Mindy’s mom. I am also friends with Melinda Moss who I think you know but my aunt and uncle are also Bernita and Charles Cofield, so I have heard you sing many times either at Ryman Hall or at the golf course at their singings. I just wanted to say thanks for the story about the pink Bulldog cap. That was so funny but I agree one hundred percent. I too would rather wear a pink GA. hat than a tennessee one. Have a great day and thanks again for the morning laugh.

      Mike
