We just finished loading out and setting up the dinosaurs. Incredible! Absolutely incredible! I can't believe how big they are and how cool it is to see them up close and personal. (Wait till you see the sanctuary!) If you haven't caught on yet, (or you've been under a rock), Creation Truth Foundation with Dr. Tom Sharp is going to be here Sunday morning through Wednesday night of next week. I talked to their guys today. This conference will be a huge faith builder for anyone who has questions about how dinosaurs fit into the biblical story, the truth about creation and evolution, and how the flood has impacted our world even till today. You will find your questions answered and your faith built stronger. Plus, you will be equipped with the knowledge you need to speak clearly about these things. It will be great. Don't miss it! And...bring ALL of your friends!
Now for the dinosaurs and the wedding. With the remodel and all of the events of October (Festival of Light, concert, Christmas in Action, etc.) this pastor's brain hasn't been its sharpest. (That's probably putting it nicely). So...here goes. They are setting up the dinosaurs in the sanctuary today. I've got my day planned out. I know that I have remodel stuff to do. I know that I have a wedding tonight at 6PM and all of that.... Wait. I have a wedding in the sanctuary at 6PM tonight and the sanctuary is infested with dinosaurs! My wife came in and was checking it all out about noon and she said, "Honey, are you forgetting you have a wedding tonight at 6?" And I'm thinking, duh! No! I know I have a wedding sweetheart. Who do you think I am? (I'm still not getting it!) Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. We have dinosaurs all over our stage that we just spent hours setting up and.... Anyway, it's just too funny now. At that moment, I'm not laughing. I kept trying to tell myself, it will be okay and laugh it off. But now I'm nervous. Now...I have to call the bride.
So, I call the bride and she is handling it really well, but I know this will make for some challenging wedding photos for sure! Anyway...thus it goes. Keeps it real. Keeps me humble. I'll be doing a wedding tonight with dinosaurs as the maid of honor and the best man! And there's even dino-poop on stage (see picture above). I'm thinking, is this book material or a sermon illustration or what?
Come and see the dinosaurs...after the wedding, of course!
