I did something I've never done before.
I had to move because the person sitting behind me wouldn't be quiet. I pushed through the worship music even though I could hear him talking behind me. Not quietly either. But when the offering plate came and he proceeded to make fun of the men I had to leave. Openly mocked a handicapped man in our congregation. I didn't know what to do. Confront? I opted to move.
He was a visitor with a young lady (maybe his daughter) and a small child. I moved to the pews in the way back of the church. I thought about leaving all together. But I needed the message today. I have prayed for them.
What would you have done?

I probably would have done the same thing you did.

Moved at least. I have Thought about saying something before-especially if convicted do so
We had someone at church complain of a urine snell-a grown adult complaining loudly during worship-it made my cry because I knew the background behind the smell and now I Will greet the person but not be overly friendly. Not a visiting family
