This post is shamelessly human. Never count the old guy out.
I was on a canoe trip Friday and Saturday. Same bunch of guys for the last four years. One of the traditions of the trip is that everybody tries to dunk the biggest guy. Don't feel bad for him, this is just what happens when you are the biggest dude on the block. You get used to it.
Well, for years, we have tried unsuccessfully. One at a time, two at a time, surprise attack, nothing worked.
This year, everything changed. let's just say that the oldest guy dunked the biggest guy. Alone. Mano e mano. Yes, it was a surprise attack, but when you are the oldest guy you have to do what you can to settle the score. Regardless, anyway you look at it, he went all the way under.
Yes, he got up and thrashed the old guy like a rag doll, but it was all worth it. Victory is sweet.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Now that explains why oldest guy was yawning in worship last night.
WTG! Sounds like great fun. I'm so glad the "old guy" is still out there enjoying life--even at the expense of others. ; )
The lesson of the story is if you are persitant enough sooner or later you will be able to find something that you can call a victory.
Halleluia! it sounds like a baptism. Another victory for the Lord!
I personally witnessed this incident and it was a victory for the old guy. You know, you are either under all the way or you aren't. And the old guy definetly got the big guy under all the way.
I bet the big guy wasn't even paying attention and it was a surprise attack
