This morning I have the children's sermon at the United Methodist Church. I haven't a clue what I will do for it, except it must be a story. The children expect that of me.
Some of my best stories come to me when I am under pressure. Years ago, I was asked to do a special winter story for a carnival at a Green Bay Catholic church. I completely forgot about the request until I arrived, so on the spur of the moment, I thought up a story using my winter clothes. It was a hit, so I kept telling it. Finally, I wrote the story down and it was published as Jason Goes to Show and Tell. That led me to a second career in writing, mostly as a journalist.
I wonder what the story will be about today!
