After one of those services however, someone mentioned something about it, like, "you couldn't leave the coffee behind, huh?" and I totally blanched. I realized that people might be wondering about what I was drinking throughout the service. Whoops! That's why we have internships. Clear tea mugs and water glasses from now on!

It seems perfectly reasonable to have some water at hand. But gosh - NEVER on the altar or in any other obvious place.<br/><br/>And exactly WHAT is with that germicide????<br/><br/>Again I say - EEEEKKK!!!!!

Rev Bee must declare herself amongst the guilty. (Well, that and with her adorable pink pants, which find their way to the office ALL the time, if never on a Sunday morning...) Can I argue that I was recovering from dehydration at the time, as in the Doctor Ordered Me to Drink? Or that I used a clear Naglene, half-size? Oooo… Rev Bee must declare herself amongst the guilty.
