Pastor Terry, if you give a sermon other from the story book, expect anything.<br> The P.P.C. Pastor in the 1990s was the Rev. Paul Kohler. Pastor Paul was giving the sermon for the children. I do not remember all of the details, but the sermon theme was about bad people. Out of the blue a little boy interrupted saying, \u201cMy Daddy is a policeman and if he sees a bad guy, he will take a rope and lasso him and tie him up\u201d. I do not remember Pastor Paul\u2019s response, but the congregation had a good laugh.<br>    Incident number two. The same place, same time in the service, same lead character but a different boy. The theme of the children\u2019s sermon was to be a good sport, be kind to each other while playing sports, and be a good loser. Matt Spring blurted out, \u201cWhen we play football, we kick butt\u201d. Again, the congregation roared. I do not remember Pastor Paul\u2019s reaction or comment, but Matt was truthful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Pastor\u2019s children\u2019s sermon can be a challenge.
