Is this your Mom?

Is this your Mom?

July 22, 2014 By Mike Sorcinelli

From time to time I’ll be posting lessons learned from my failures. Today I want to share a funny one.

One Sunday morning I walked up to someone on our worship team who was with a woman I had never seen before. Like an idiot I led off with “Hey Tim, is this your mom?” Tim said “Nope. This is my girlfriend.” You won’t be surprised to learn that Tim and his mom…I mean girlfriend…no longer attend New Day.

Lesson learned? Everyone should be slow to speak! (James 1:19) 

Be sure to check back this Thursday where I’ll share the dumbest thing I ever said at a wedding! I promise it will be worth the read 🙂
