Yesterday I linked to a couple of items about IMAGINARY Pastor Brad Tower’s plans for his FICTIONAL church’s Vacation Bible School to ‘SHOCK and AWE’ the children.
Today in a post called The Kids Love Me Pastor Brad shares how things are going.
Along with an incident that arose from riding a minature buffalo, another highlight was his
very inspirational speech to the kids called “Don’t Flee the Flood, Be the Flood”. I talked about how all of us have to deal with the floods of life. Sometimes these floods are bad grades. Sometimes they’re school bullies. Sometimes our floods also happen to be real floods, which is a double whammy.
But when life deals you floods, you’ve got two options. You can flee the flood and run in fear, or you can be the flood, and let it wash over you in a cleansing flow.
(You have my sympathies if this is either what actually passes for a preaching theme in your church/school chapel service or sounds like the outline of a sermon you’ve ever preached.)
