Sunday Night Frivolity

So I originally was going to write about obedience.  The Scout is obedient is the next law of scouting.  However, the church has been invaded by teenagers and youth workers and the scent of burnt hotdogs has permeated my Sanctum Santorum.  So, what’s a pastor to do?  If ya’ can’t beat ‘em join ‘em! 

So the report from BRBC is this:

Mackenzie is trying to type her name just to let you know she is here.  Mn- that is her writing her name for you.  Of course, the cheetos crumbs will probably enhance my laptop’s functioning.

Rick is on his fourth hotdog and a monster mound of chips.  The heavy metal (Christian) music blaring in the youth room is definitely his doing. Janelle is feeling ill but is hanging in like a trooper-her hotdog remains untouched.

Melissa and Haley are trying hard to be cool and pulling it off rather well.  Ok-as well as they can at church. 

Randy and Brandon have disappeared into the stratosphere, but since it just showered there are probably a whole bunch new bugs to capture and classify.

Vonna is in an ecstatic trance because she just won a free 44oz from Sonic.  She and Rick have begun to discuss the relative merits of Dr. Pepper vs. Cherry Limeade. 

And then there is Mark, who is this evening’s guest chef.  The dogs were good, cooked to perfection, but he forgot that sizzling hotdogs and Styrofoam plates tend to meld together when placed in close proximity to each other. 

I guess this is what the church growth gurus call “living in community”.  Down where I come from we call it “bustin’ up in the church together”.  Whatever you call it-it feels good.  To be with people you love, who you know (perhaps too well), and who share life with you.  I think this is how the early church did (read Acts 2).  I don’t think there was any preplanned, prepackaged fellowship programs-I think they just got together and did whatever came naturally.

            Of course it’s because of the Lord Jesus Christ that we His beloved can have this type of fellowship.  Heaven is going to be a lot like this-hanging out, enjoying the Lord’s and each other’s company, eating-I just hope it isn’t hotdogs! 

Share with me what you idea of fellowship looks like. 

By the way-the picture of Captain America has no significance-Bruce was just cool!!
