My oldest son Noah absolutly amazes me. For the past few months he has been spending his spare time reading the blogs of our friends and family. My first instinct is to say, “Noah, go outside and play” but somewhere along the way I realized that he is reading and building relationships with our friends. Not to mention the fact that Jennifer and I do the same thing in our spare time. So if we know you and you have a blog there is a good chance that my 6.5 year old son has read every post on it. Over the past few weeks his obsession has gone to a new level. He started asking his mom and I if he could write something on her blog. We allowed him to post a few things on the blog. He learned to upload pictures, type and publish his post. So this weekend I asked if he wanted to start his own blog. He looked at me as if the possibility had never occurred to him and said, ya ya ya! So here it is… my six year old’s blog.
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He’d grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hey pastor Clifton!
I don’t even know why we started doing this but from week one at Pillar Church we have had a Q & A at the end of the service. Usually when I conclude the teaching I open the floor for any questions or comments. About 20% of the time you can hear crickets chirping but the majority of the time some really good questions come out. Over the course of more than three years of doing this we have had two or three uncomfortable moments. There was the time when someone from the audience referenced a playboy article and the time when a visitor declared that the point of my sermon was untrue. Overall, however, the experience has been one I wouldn’t trade for the world.
