Last night, on a plane
returning home, i was sitting with a friend i've known for many years, talking
about church and a whole lot of political things.
Being a US Congressman,
my friend visits a lot of different churches in the area throughout the year,
and he told me of what happened in a local church this past Easter.
it made me roll with
laughter, to the point of tears. The pastor of this Baptist church had called
all of the little children, dressed in their cute Easter outfits, to the front
of the church and had them sit around him. He said, "Today is Easter, and
you all look so handsome and beautiful. Today we're going to talk about the
resurrection. Does anyone know what the resurrection is?" One little boy
raised his hand, and the pastor held the microphone in front of him and said,
"Please, tell us what the resurrection is." The little boy, proud of
himself because he knew the answer, said in a clear, loud voice "When you
get one lasting more than four hours, you gotta call a doctor!" it took a
solid five minutes before the pastor could speak again. There was so much
laughter going on that his sermon was probably forgotten . . . you can bet that
little boy's voice won't be forgotten anytime soon!
