A church member was fond of saying, "If people in the church were as committed to their God as football fans are to their team, then the devil wouldn't stand a chance." Football fans pay hefty sums for tickets and parking. They are willing to walk great distances and stand and wait in long lines. Football fans are willing to sit on hard wooden benches without back support for hours. People in our pews complain if the pews aren't padded and service goes longer than one hour. They would never think of waiting in line to get in, waiting for communion is bad enough.
