Little Listing thinks he is Amazing. And, we got to meet Mr. McFeely last winter. Of course, LL now wants to know when Mr. Rogers is coming for a visit. I pulled Santa Claus "He's so busy" thing, but when do I try and explain death and re-runs? We watch Mr. Rogers. Little Listing thinks he is Amazing. And, we got to meet Mr. McFeely last winter.

Thinking about this further, my wondering about about Sunday came from deviating from "the script" in a way that probably took Senior Pastor by surprise, and hopefully didn't undermine what was a very nice charge (though it really did overdo it on the "Go.")

I always try to have one good laugh in my sermons, and I do believe that God doesn't ask us to leave bits of ourselves outside our worship. Not only is silly okay, I think it’s necessary.

My parents have a picture of me and one of my brothers kissing Mr. Rogers on the TV when we were little. When I was 34, there was an exhibit about him at the children's museum in town. My folks happened to be in town and so we went. My mom and I both cried. Silliness is great and so necessary.

I'm the 8000th comment. I'm not sure where this comment ranks on the comment odometer, but I plan on taking your lead by showing lots of Mr. Rogers and old school Sesame Street to Parker. Yay!

I am too serious for my own good. Mamala, remember that Inside the Actors Studio with Mike Myers? He was talking about the virtues of silliness. I decided at that point that silly can be a ministry. Cathy, Mamala does have a blog, and you can get to it from my blogroll page (the very first link), though she seems to share most of the funny stuff here! ppb, it is funny to me that my car is soggy and pathetic, while yours has apparently never looked better. And sherry---the Lord's name be praised. Thinking about you this week. I have been trying to cultivate teh silly more. I am too serious for my own good.

I think if people laugh, they're more likely to remember. It's so nice that you have a church where you can be spontaneous like that! And, BTW, I've been seen with the hairdryer on an extension cord in my driveway. Yeah, people almost drove into my yard. I often look to add some humor to a sermon or other aspect of worship.
