					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello World,</p>
<div id="attachment_8121" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.afterthealtarcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/church-lady-johnson.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-8121" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-8121" src="https://www.afterthealtarcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/church-lady-johnson-300x168.jpg" alt="(from 11 Alive News)" width="300" height="168" srcset="https://www.afterthealtarcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/church-lady-johnson-300x168.jpg 300w, https://www.afterthealtarcall.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/church-lady-johnson.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-8121" class="wp-caption-text">(from 11 Alive News)</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;m not really a sports aficionado&#8230;Most of what I know about what&#8217;s going on in the sports world is just told to me by my husband&#8230;However, I must admit I&#8217;ve been checkin&#8217; for the Atlanta Falcons over the last year or so when I heard the news that two historic black churches, <a href="http://www.historicfriendshipchurch.org/#!history/c8de"><strong>Friendship Baptist Church</strong></a>, Atlanta&#8217;s oldest black Baptist church which was instrumental in the founding and establishment of Morehouse and Spelman Colleges and  <strong>Mount Vernon Baptist Church </strong><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/22/us/in-atlanta-two-churches-lie-in-new-stadiums-path.html?pagewanted=all">would be demolished to make room for a brand new $1.2 billion stadium for the Atlanta Falcons</a>&#8230;Members of the churches voiced strong opinions on either side, but one member of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, called the church lady by <a href="http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/personality/derrick-boazman/">1380 WAOK&#8217;s Derrick Boazman</a>, spit her words out with absolutely no restraint at all&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Desecrating the sacred ground of two historic black churches to build a stadium facility for a second rate football team,&#8221; said Mount Vernon Baptist Church member Vickie Johnson, according to an <a href="http://www.11alive.com/story/sports/nfl/atlanta-falcons/2014/10/31/curse-of-the-church-lady/18223923/">11Alive News report</a> by Keith Whitney&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>I cannot personally vouch for Ms. Johnson&#8217;s personal relationship with God, but she may know something that Arthur Black, owner of the Atlanta Falcons, and the Atlanta Falcons don&#8217;t y&#8217;all&#8230;Since then, the Atlanta Falcons haven&#8217;t been able to string a few wins together, losing 17 of 22 games according to Whitney, when the team seemed to be at least a decent team before Ms. Johnson put the whammy on them&#8230;Last week, they even traveled (along with many hopeful fans) and lost royally in London..</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m thinking this needs to be you, Mr. Blank, and the Atlanta Falcons, on today, since the Atlanta Falcons aren&#8217;t playing&#8230;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And if you see a church lady like this at a black church:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://mrwgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Black-Churchs-Hallelujah-Twerk-Dance.gif" alt="black church lady" /></p>
<p>Or if you see a church lady like this at a white church:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i.imgur.com/nrVNi.gif" alt="white church lady" /></p>
<p>You best bow down, confess your sins and ask for forgiveness&#8230;</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
