Aww, see what you get for behaving well, Sarah?! Haha! At least you can feel proud that you did the right thing!
I'm finally able to explain myself. I'm home now, and can type.
I wasn't exactly in the pews, under the watchful eye of my DH and parents, and pastor ... DH and I were volunteering in the back of the church, advancing the slides. The service was just about over and I was dying to check the Bingo words ... so I checked on my cell phone, but first of all the connection was super slow. Then I got on, and saw the words, but I couldn't reply because I wasn't logged in, NOOOOOO! So I logged in, got to Inktoberfest, then the Bingo thread ... ughhh, it's killing me! Had to put phone down, cause service ending and people coming to the back ... that's why my reply was very short and to the point! So yeah, I never check my phone in church, but tonight I did! I did serve in two ways though, does that help? I was doing slides, and I played with the handbell choir during the offering. I know, I'm rationalizing my poor behavior
So then I try to start explaining, but I'm in the car texting at red lights (I never text and drive, I promise) ... then at dinner with parents and DH and another member of congregation ... so I had to wait again. Finally home ... and now you know the "rest of the story"! Phew!
Please forgive me!
