It was only after Eleanor Batterson lost a tooth that the deacons realized choosing the next Ladies’ Ministry Director could have been handled with a coin flip.

    Hey! I think I used to be a member of the church! I KNEW they looked familiar!

    LOL.
    This is why you should always have more than one fried chicken at 1st Sunday church dinner.

    This is much more humane than most decision-making events in many churches.

    …and I’ll put a 5-spot on the one on the left.

    Eleanor needs to read Joel’s latest book, “Your Best Left Hook Now.”

    Just two years later, Mortimer Swchump (in the pith helmet) built the first Octagon where the good folks in the church could battle it out in MMA fashion.

    She should have read Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Punch!

    The real reason for the fight was whose name would be placed on the recipe for green bean casserole in the new Purpose Driven Church Cookbook

    There was more to this “fight” than who became the next Ladies’ Ministry Director….they were testing the waters for Extreme Women’s Boxing…at the Sunday School Picnic. This was to determine if Women’s Boxing would become an effective witnessing tool, along with the betting funds being used to feed the poor in the neighborhood! Talk about being relevant!

    The lady in black after the match, went on to knock her husband out in a one round match for betting on Eleanor. He’s been hooked up to life support since (she thought he was weak as a deacon anyway).

    The first rule of Ladies Auxiliary meeting is you don’t talk about Ladies Auxiliary meeting.
