Dunk Tanks and Dilly Bars

-
In a weak moment, I agreed to be in the dunk tank for Relay for Life yesterday. Hannah went along for moral support -- sort of. A big group of grinning folks lined up to "dunk the preacher." Kind of a "turn-around" baptism. I think I went down 30 times in 20 minutes.


As Hannah and I were leaving, we heard the announcement for the Dilly Bar eating contest -- so decided to stay and reclaim our titles (We both won two years ago.)

We pulled it off this year as well -- once again Hayward's Dilly Bar eating champions! Our little friend, Jackson Davis won his age division too -- an all around Wesleyan Pastors' Family Sweep.

Someone gasped when they saw how fast I could eat a Dilly Bar. "How in the world do you eat that fast?" they asked. I replied, "It's easy. When you have five kids, you have to eat fast in order to get seconds!"

    A Dilly Bar is a round vanilla ice cream treat on a stick (coated in chocolate, strawberry or butterscotch). It's a Dairy Queen product.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

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
