The Church of What's Happening Now!
This doesn't have anything to do with Easter or real church(if you are looking for a religious story).
One of my favorite investor clients came up with this phrase a few days ago when we were discussing how to approach someone that was asking way too much for some Richmond Kentucky real estate (In his opinion).
He went through his long list of reasons for the price to be lowered then said, "He need's to come to the church of what's happening now!" I cracked up! I told him that if there was such a church I really wanted to be a member.
Since then, that phrase has stuck in my head. So I am finding ways to say it when I find a funny situation to use it in. Note: This works best on new clients that haven't heard it before.
Other ways to use it:
After you walk through an extremely messing house you are showing. Say it then discuss the merits of staging.
When trying to get your point across in a meeting.
Works great to add a laugh when arguing with a family member or friend.
Diffuse any heated argument that has become way too serious! Life is short, people need to have fun.
Hope this adds some humor for your day.
You are becoming way too serious!
You need to come to the church of what's happening now!

So now I am going to date myself but here goes: Flip Wilson created the role of Reverend Leroy, who was the Minister of the Church of What's Happening Now!. New parishioners were wary of coming to the churchas it was hinted that Reverend Leroy was a con artist
Here is some info: There is actually a song named "The Church Of What's Happening Now". The lyrics are below
"The Church Of What's Happening Now"
I want to change, to rearrange
What is going on
I need to change, I need to play
Like a five year old
I can't detach from the past and all of the pain
I need to learn, start from scratch begin again
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
So I'm going to eat one hundred sweets
I don't care if I get fat
And I'm going to speak one I won't censor me
I know I can take nothing back
And I'm going to jump I will unburden
I cannot go too deep
I will not run from bad things I've done
They're things I'll try not to repeat
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Welcome to
The church of what's happening now
Head straight through
It costs nothing but change
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
Throw away yesterday
Today is a brand new day
If you have never watched the Flip Wilson show, you should try to find it somewhere, because it is hilarious. I believe Flip is the father of modern day comics and physical comedy. I watched the show when I was very young (I am 41 now) with my grandfather, who was a deacon at his church. He watched the show just to see the Reverend Leroy Skit. Flip also did a character named "Geraldine" he dressed up as a woman...too funny... What trip down memory lane
Love it! I was laughing in my seat. Had to share with everyone at work. Thanks
