for the kids...

kids sermon at church today was cute... it was about things that can't be shaken.

pastor calls the kids all up front, and throws one a baby rattle, one an unpopped bag of microwave popcorn, and another a bottle of water, all of which they can shake and make noise with... they have a regular rhythm section going...

the pastor asks them all "so who can tell me something that is unshakeable?"

(blank stares all around from all the short people :-P)

pastor: "no one, really? none of you can think of anything?... fine, all of you, get up, and come on a little walk with me"

(he marches all the kids to the back of the church to one corner where there's a big pillar that reaches to the ceiling, has all the kids put their hands on it, and tells them on the count of 3 they're going to shake the church building... on the count of 3 they all sincerely try, and all the sudden, one little 3 year old voice chimes out above everything "pastor! what if we can't do it???")

*that* got them talking.

it was great.

the end.
