A Little Magic

This week, as we reviewed the effects of Hurricane Katrina two years later, we interviewed Pastor Fred Luter of New Orleans on "Mornings," the radio show I co-host. I asked the pastor about his son, who is studying to be a pastor just like his dad.

Lorri: Pastor Luter, is it true Chip lettered in Magic in high school?

Pastor: Yes, he thought that was fun.

Lorri: That will make his sermons interesting to include a few tricks. ‘Sinner-disappear!’

Pastor: I’d like to make a few deacons disappear.

We all got a big laugh out of that. And I suspect that there was a grain of truth in Pastor Luter's words. In Pastor Luter's bag of tricks, a quick sense of humor helps when you face the Category 5 storms of life. What's in your bag of tricks?
