If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
That is an AWESOME clip!!!! That must have been his son???? My brain doesn't work that way - - - - even as a kid, I would NEVER once have thought of doing a cannon ball into the baptismal, and I'm even a PK!!!
ReplyDeleteDuring our Evangelism class, Mark showed a moving clip of a couple of baptism events at his Church. Baptism is an area that our Churches need to promote more and celebrate by way of videos and photos. I was in joyful tears by just seeing the baptism video of people I didn't even know. Just think of how a well made video would impact the Church and the families that actually participated in the baptism.
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely hillarious! I cannot tell you how I would respond if that happened to me. Solemn occasions need to sometimes be broken up. We need to honor God, but with our heart, not some ritual.
