Hey Darrell. Thanks so much! I love the encouragement I get here, it really sustains me and provides wind beneath my wings. Where in NC are you? Are you going to Moose Camp?

I'm about 40 miles north of Greensboro. I won't be going to Moose Camp this year because my wife and I have a 3 year old and now a 3 week old baby girl. All funds will be going toward diapers and doctors, lol.

Darrell

Congratulations Darrell!

I'm so glad I have pretty young kids too (4, 2, and 2 months) because they think my balloon sculptures are AWESOME! I figure if I can improve a little as they grow, I should be able to impress them for a little while longer

What a great story- and witness. I am getting excited about going back to my southern California alley and getting involved and maybe a church ministry. I listen to all your stories and am so inspired. I will be back to my alley in a few weeks and itching to get more involved in clowning. There is much to learn. Thanks so much for all the sharing- I have big shoes to fill.

Hi Pinky,

I gotta agree with what Duckie says, she's really got the right God perspective. I would have felt the same way though and it's good you can share your feeelings here where you've got a bunch of great clown friends to listen. Keep on keepin on as the song used to say. God has some really great things in store for you as a clown.

God bless you in your ministry. Keep us in the loop as to how it goes!

Nothing wrong with what you did….. And it was the Ministers guys’ choice in doing what he did….. It’s not what I would have done…. But in his job title, he had power to do the do he wants to do….. And if someone wants to not listen to others with the same goal shame on them, but as for getting Mad, or Upset it really is not worth getting either about this issue.. Oh not saying you should not talk to him, but when you talk to someone who really showed where they heart truly is I have 2 examples first one is to show them that it bothered you and the second is someone who stepped over the line to knowingly hurt your feelings the set up for both need to be set up special for each person that’s where the acting games with friends help with training.

#1 Short version: I just wanted you to know you really hurt me in this issue and want to pray right now Lord I forgive _________ for hurting my feelings, and please God, you told me I was your Favorite, over and over again, so I know you’re listening Like you said. You like me the best of all your children….. But please for me take this man into your arms and kill him…… Kill him dead let the lighting bolts go threw his whole body for the pain he directed and caused me. Because it just isn’t fair so do this for me your favorite child awhman…….

#2 Short version: I know we had words the other day, and I was thinking bad thoughts after are little conversation, and I felt bad for the bad thought that where directed at you afterworlds and wanted you know I took it all back…._____________ (I waited for response) But you where flying in a plane and I took at all back and need you to forgive me…________
(Wait for a response) Because really it wouldn’t be fair for all those innocent people on the plane with you to go down in flames just for being there….

I have done the first in a church but that is a raw quickie concept I showed you. But it’s all the acting games and acting skills, and setup…. I just would not get festered up inside over what happened because not answering email and outright a control thing you know where he is at, so what’s the point in confronting him, unless you just want to say it in passing and make fun of yourself and the beauty about the first example, it lets you vent in a comical type way and get the point to him or her that a person does not have power over you..
And practice out of make up when you go in public what funny cool things rather then funny strange. Funny strange is easy and can get you in trouble…. But funny cool is when you use your mind, for entertaining …. But I have multiple personalities in my head and 6’6” so able to get away with a lot when I trying new stuff in public
I have seen this once by interacting in public and being able to be in control and be funny in a moments notice, because something might happen and that 5 min is needed to make people laugh and smile to cause a diversion can save a production or can cause a delay and stop people from panicking when needed and save someone’s life, But with no sound, no Mic, in a stadium on ground floor, will I be able to entertain 20,000 people for 5 min until police, or fire fighters get there.

Ok, I know I am way late weighing in on this subject but here is my thought.If you believe God called you to be a gospel clown [and it sound's like you do] focus on that, he may not open the door at the curch you attend. Trust that he will open a door somewhere and be prepared for it.
There that and 5 bucks might buy you a cup of coffee!!!!
