Things you may not want to do as a pastor #237


Tonight some good friends of ours invited us to join them for a night out. So, after the babysitter arrived, we met them at Blue Pacific Grill for dinner and then went on to the Funny Bone comedy club at Fat Fish Blue to catch some live stand up comedy.

We had a great time with our friends, but I learned something of great value tonight, and it's this:

"Pastoral Tip #237"--For future reference, it's probably best NOT to invite a neighbor or friend to a comedy club as a way of building a relationship with them--unless incessant profanity and vulgarity are elements of your approach to witnessing.

A word to the wise.

well, in the very least it gives a "humanness" and with creative conversation you can talk about how that isn't your cup of tea - and Funny bone isn't always raunchy - we've been several times and only on one occasion was the comedians choices of words completely vulgar. Funny though! :) And we have to believe that God will somehow use that evening as a blessing for his glory.
