Allergic to Easter Lilies!

[Macrina]

Oh dear. I just went into the sanctuary, which is all decked out for the sunrise service tomorrow... the pulpit area is completely surrounded by Easter lilies, and oh boy... It's beautiful, but 5 seconds in there my throat was dry and my nose was sniffy... I am in TROUBLE tomorrow . I don't really want to take something that will put me to sleep, especially at that early hour... but man, I'll be leading worship and preaching... I'll have to keep my voice together somehow.

Anything that works for you folks? Tea with honey? Ice water?

And, btw -- HAPPY EASTER! May the risen Lord bless you and yours always.

I just saw your original post. Tell me what happened! Did you make it thtough? Did your throat dry up and your tonsils eject from your mouth? Did the Word get preached? Did the congregation get sick? What happened?!!!!

Wow! You'd think if the senior pastor had allergies, the church would have mercy and not deck the place out in Easter lilies...

Congregation members of this poor minister: Get the man some silk flowers!!!

Hope everything worked out okay .

FYI: macrina is a woman.

Macrina, I hope you pulled through! At least with a minimum of sneezing and wheezing! Snot on the pulpit is not a good thing!

LOL!

Good to hear from y'all. Yes, it went well, with heavy doping and a huge glass of ice water, combined with a short sermon. I think I may need to go back on allergy meds, b/c man... spring in Mississippi is blooming painful!

I know the feeling. They must had a three hundred plants at church on Sunday. That the first time this year I had to run out of church. Don't know about drugs or anything. Drugs at times made me feel worst then the problem.

I don't have a problem with plants. We have an old Heating & AC system, and when I am in a place where the air or heat blows right on me, I start to "plug up." I'm sure it's an insurance claim waiting to happen. . . .

You'd think as a female minister, I would not have assumed that macrina was a man. I attribute it to major brain-fry this week!!!

No worries. Nice to know there are more of us out there.

Also, don't we ALL have major brain-fry this week?
