Would Jesus play Kick-Ball?
Yah, I know this is the question that everyobody is pondering today. In the context of the current climate in the world, these are important issues. Well, actually it is. When did it ever become a rule that just because times are tough, that no one is allowed to have fun? And where did we get this idea that just because the mission of Jesus is deadly serious, that He never had fun. After all He went to wedding parties, and children flocked to Him. Jesus always went to the folks, rather than making them come to Him, literaly and figuratively. Jesus meets us where we are, and I believe that would mean playing Kick-Ball.
Last night was a blast at First Church of the Brethren of Peoria. A bunch of kids of all ages had some pizza and played some Kick-Ball. It was good to laugh and play together. I can’t wait till next month. BTW – if you have ideas for the family fun night once a month, let me know.
