Bread and Wine

Today was my second time serving on the altar as a eucharistic minister/lay reader at church, and I think I did a better job my first time a few weeks ago. I said an "um" just before reading the Psalm (who does that??), and when it was time to process out at the end of the service I was noticeably awkward -- our guest priest jokingly said to me "you can get in but you just can't get out" and it made me smile all the way out of the church. A lesson in humility! Maybe I shouldn't have stayed out so late last night...
