I gave the Scout Sunday sermon at our COR last Sunday.

I had never done anything like that before but I really enjoyed pulling it together. I chose to tell the story of Joseph (Old Testament) and show how he lived the Scout Law.....it was well received.

I know I have posted this before! But it's one of my great "War Stories"!

Some years back I was staffing a NCS for Cub Scout Day Camp.

I was asked to cover the Scouts Own.

It was scheduled for Saturday just before the evening meal.

Not being sure how the Cub Scouts would take to all being stuffed into a room that really wasn't big enough and them being hungry! I had the service I wanted to do and a shorter one just in case.

My theme was Peace.

I had poems from kids around the world that had been affected by war and unrest. I was all set to go.

The room was hot and over crowded, but as I got into it I noticed one Lady was visibly upset, she was crying.

I really thought that I'd found my calling.

I really thought I was good at this and went for the long, full version.

When I was done a number of people thanked me and said "Good job.".

The Lady who had been upset was leaving the room, so I went up to her and said that I hoped I hadn't upset her too much.

She said she was fine and it wasn't my fault that she was upset and that she had just heard that her cat had died.

My ego took a very large it.

Ea.

Good for you! Would you be willing to share your notes?

 

I'd love to pass them on to our troop's chaplain.
