Childhood Memory
I just saw a commercial last night that reminded me of life when my son was a child. In the commercial, the son is bouncing the basketball on the floor of the house and the dad tells him that his mother does not like the basketball to be bounced on the floor. The son immediately starts bouncing the basketball off the wall. With some children you have to be specific in your rules.
My son used the house as a sports field. I remember he would put on roller skates, get a golf club, and a golf ball and use the hallway to play a game we would later call "gockey." After he went to college, we had to repaint the doors and walls of all the sports fields. He never sat still to watch an entire game of any sport; he had to be doing something with a ball.
It all came back to me as I saw him play a part in the video of the July 9th worship service at Messiah Baptist Church in Wichita. He looked like Clark Kent in his costume for the skit. I thought, "He always did like doing something different from the norm."
By the way, the rendition of "Let Freedom Ring" in the July 2nd DVD was very inspirational. Good job, fellas!
We enjoy watching the choir and praise team as they lead the church in worship, but the real kicker in the July 2nd DVD was when the electric bass player got so into the moment that he did a 360 toward the end of "These Are the Days of Elijah." Of course, who could miss part of the alto section of the choir not only clapping, but swaying together while they sang the song.
