short story long

OK and now for dumb. I am children’s guy at church. Don’t read “dirty old pervert” into that. No, I am over the Kids area of church, one could say children’s pastor but I think the word pastor should be reserved for one who thinks of them selves as “called” to it or as in “this is my life’s calling”. And for me it is not, and I think the term pastor just sounds dirty. Nothing bad about that, I love what I do but I could do like 27 other things and be just as happy. Sounds like I am making excuses and maybe I am.
I just so happen to not relate to adults very well so they stick me with the kids.
So I like kid type things; NAMELY, ADULT CARTOONS.

And by adult I do not mean like any thing unspeakable. I can imagine if you add “Adult” as a prefix to anything it automatically means all the vice you can handle. No. I like South Park ok. I think it is cleverly written. Some of the topics they approach are just huge and they always seem to do a decent job of poking fun and raising awareness (such a hippie green term, ‘raising awareness’) of the touchiest subject. I also like Family Guy. It is not as clever or outrageous but it still makes me laugh like the honeymooners probably did for someone my age a generation back.
My point and what I want to tell you about. A few weeks back there was an episode where there was a threat of showing an image of the prophet Mohammad. All kinds of bad things were going to happen if this actually happened and the best thing for the community to do was to ignore it, but not just to ignore it. The solution they came up with was to stick their heads in sand. That way there would be no way they could be accused of seeing the cartoon of the prophet. Brilliant writing!
