New Policy For Bible Study

My church isn't in the best neighborhood; we've been burgled a few times and all that. Last night as we poor lone women were about to start Bible study, someone came into the church. We didn't see him (we were upstairs, he went down), but we heard him. One of the girls headed down to see if it was someone we knew, and as she went (under God's protection, thank goodness) she turned lights on and hollered. No one responded, but she heard more doors opening and closing, finally hearing the back door. We all searched the church, one of the girls taking off her heels, ready to clobber someone with them. We didn't find anyone, and the pastor came and did a more thorough search and didn't find anyone, but it was still a bit disconcerting. Earlier in the day I had been reading Earlier in the day I had been reading some dumb laws that are still on the books. Apparently in Maine, all church attenders are required to bring a shotgun to church in case of an Indian attack. I told the other women that, and we're thinking that might not be a bad idea. Except for the fact that the thought of us with guns is a little scary. So instead we're just thinking we should all bring stilettos.
