Bathroom Chairpile

Posted July 30, 2009, 10:35 p.m.

While I was at the church for Eucharistic Adoration, I made a quick pit-stop before heading into the chapel. To my surprise, the men’s room was full of chairs . . . lots of them . . . stacked.

I am assuming that they were put there to be out of the way for Vacation Bible School, which is under-way this week, but I found it funny. One doesn’t expect tens of chairs to be stacked in the men’s room.

Of course, as you can see, there’s plenty of room so it’s actually pretty logical. After all, the adoration chapel next door used to be a storage room (I think) and may well have been where chairs used to be stacked when they needed to be out of the way. I’m not really sure though . . . I’m still new!
