I do carry at church service, Bible-studies, and Pot-Lucks, but sometimes one needs to be totally dependent on God and trust Him for ANY outcome - some things just transcend this mortal plane.
It's hard to explain. It just is.
Any Freepers know what I'm saying?
I can think of at least 4 people in our congregation (and there are likely a few more) who carry at church. Plus, one of the men is trained in hand-to-hand combat. He could likely tear your head clean off.
