A Short Story- The Spider

So as you might already know I’ve been playing guitar for church for the past six years. And let me tell you that I’ve experienced many adventures along to way. I was thinking about one funny story, and thought I would share them with you.

It was a regular Sunday morning where we sang, announcements were made, and then the Pastor got up to preach. Towards the end of the sermon I realize that there was something big and black slowly coming down from the ceiling. I looked a little harder and then I realized it was a spider that was hanging by its thread just to the left of the preacher (it’s a small church, and I was not the only one who saw it). It climbs down then stops, climbs down some more then stops, and climbs down some more. All this time I’m watching it closely to see where goes for the following reasons: I can’t stand spiders, and from where I was sitting it looked like it was going to land right on top of my guitar. Which I needed to play in about six minutes. I was getting nervous about the spider that was about to land on my guitar, and wondered if anyone else was seeing the same thing.  I leaned over to my friend and asked if she saw the spider. She too had been watching it for the past couple minutes. I kept watching the little black dot.  At first I thought it landed on my guitar, so at that point I was trying to figure out what I was going to do if it was sitting on my guitar. I would have probably flicked it off somehow, that would have looked really funny. Then I saw it crawl up the side of the piano that was sitting right next to it. I was relieved that it was not where I was going to be, but I kept an eye out. I would not want a surprise visitor to come up next to me while I’m occupied playing the guitar. I would have not enjoy that! Haha! Later I found out that several others were watching the spider as well, and it brought a lot of laughter and chitchat after the service.  Anyway, there’s just a story for the post this week!
