Stupidity

For some unknown reason I got thinking about all the stupid/bizarre things I have done "for the sake of the gospel" in other words at some sort of Christian event. The various things include

· Wearing various truly heinous wigs (hunt the spy at camp)
· Having an egg cracked over my face (camp)
· Having fruit pastilles stuck on my face (praise party last week)
· Eating a cold McDonalds (Kidz Klub)
· Watching the Pink Panther conduct a Salvation Army band (Jo at camp last summer – whilst playing hunt the spy)
· Having shaving foam put on my face and then having freezing cold water splashed on it to wash it off (camp)
· Getting as many children as wet as possible – very fun – unfortunately getting soaked myself – thanks Dave Bennett and Olly Noble(camp).
· Having shaving foam on my face and then having wotsits thrown at me (ice breaker for small group – thanks a lot for that suggestion Pete!)
· Being dunked in a freezing cold river- thanks Benjamin David Green. (Pilgrimage)

You may want to ask how much I was being paid to do all this – the answer is – nothing! In fact for most of them I actually paid for the privilege of doing all these bizarre and strange things. What makes me do them? A love for showing kids a great time while trying to show them more of Christ’s love for them, and for everyone.
