We declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have
fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
If that story doesn't make you laugh, it will make you cry. It is such a common occurrence. Let
someone you know who hasn't attended church in a while that you miss them.
(1 John 1:3
NRSV)
Three pastors got together for coffee one morning. Much to their surprise they discovered that all
their churches had problems with bats infesting their belfries. The bats were making a terrible
mess. "I got so mad," said one pastor, "I took a shotgun and fired at them. It made holes in the
ceiling, but did nothing to the bats."
"I tried trapping them alive," said the second. "Then I drove 50 miles before releasing them, but
they beat me back to the church."
"I haven't had any more problems," said the third.
"What did you do?" asked the others, amazed.
"I simply baptized and confirmed them," he replied. "I haven't seen them since."
Lord Jesus, give me the opportunity to share with those who have drifted away. Amen.
