Have you ever wondered how some Churchs function or why some churchs shrink? Well, here is a humous look at this issue.

They bleed purple smack down. In the United Methodist Church those who bleed purple produce some great sporting events. Usually the events are hosted by geographic areas of the Church called Conferences. I must admit that I really did not realize that those who bleed purple were such great fans of professional wrestling. Maybe if I had understood this I would have been more understanding of what was happening in the Conference the past few years. Over these years we have had some unusual occurrences that did not make much since in the scheme of things but for the fact that we have some devout wrestling fans. When you realize that those who bleed purple are fans of professional wrestling it all comes into better focus.
