I Need Benny Hinn

I need a healing prayer cloth. Or maybe I need to give a seed gift. Or maybe I didn't give enough.

I'm sick and on drugs. Can you tell? :-)

In fact, 3/4 of the Hardwick family has whatever it is that we have. The good news is Lara Beth, my wife, has dodged it to this point. If she's sick and it's up to me to make the Hardwick house work, then we'd all be in trouble.

None of us were able to go to church yesterday, too, which absolutely stinks. There was a time in my life when being sick on a Sunday was like being able to stay home from school. Even in my "professional" life, there have been plenty of Sundays when being sick was the better option. But not now. I hated being here yesterday and not being there. Everytime I would wake from my crud-induced stupor, I'd check the clock and think about what was happening. All reports are it was a good day.

But, check this out. A bird, a really large bird according to my sources, flew into one of the windows in the lobby of the theatre where we meet and died. There are several large windows around the lobby and apparently he thought one was a tunnel. Not so much. One eyewitness told me it sounded like one of the inflatable dinosaurs we're using in our current series exploded. Another told me it sounded like 30 birds hit the window, not just one. The good news...it happened as people were coming in for the 9:00 service. "Hi, welcome to...THUD..." Nice.

So, a dead bird and a sick pastor need Benny Hinn.

According to my old fundamentalist Baptist "Crisis" checklist handbook :>), I have diagnosed your problems as one of the following:

(1) There "sin in the camp" at Catalyst and you're getting a little OT judgment.
(2) Somebody in leadership took communion "unworthily" recently.
(3) The other church plants in your area have had their prayers answered this week and you recieved the "benefit". :>)

or....

(4) The fact you would even mentioned in jest say that you're going to contact Benny Hinn brought you judgment. :>)

Praying everyone gets better bro!! Glad to know our churches are more "mission and model driven" than "personality", aren't you?? :>) Sure makes life easier and the church healthier. Take care!

"Or maybe I didn't give enough."

Hope y'all feel better. That's tough.

Why do the loud birds always get the attention? At the later service a smaller thud came from the other side of the lobby. Poor cardinal never had a chance...

Allow me the grace to pray for you oh wise one..

MommaSayMommaSawMooMakooSau.... Ooops sorry... you asked for Benny Hinn... I gave you Michael Jackson... Let me try again.... wait a minute... you're not in a wheelchair... you're not blind... you just have a cold... you're not a bad enough case to call Pastor Benny Hinn... what you need is to pray the prayer of faith.... according the the police lieutenant on the Bad Boys Movie it is all about the 'woosaahhhh'...

Start chanting!

Just wanted to make you laugh!
