Oops

I am soooooo glad that this has never happened to Pastor Troy


Here's the gist of it:

KKOKOMO, Ind. - A pastor brought out a dirt bike during a church service to demonstrate the concept of unity. Now he's demonstrating the concept of healing.

Jeff Harlow, the senior pastor at Crossroads Community Church, broke his wrist when he lost control of the motorcycle at the start of Sunday's second service, driving off a 5-foot platform and into the vacant first row of seats. He underwent surgery on the wrist Monday.

"Jeff has already laughed a lot, so he's OK. I think his pride was bruised," said his wife, Becky.
Indeed. I'm really glad he's okay and that no one got hurt. Still, the part of me that will garner angry emails for saying the following can't help thinking about the kinds of things that could happen as Pastors continue to get more creative with stage props. Maybe we can start calling them Stunt Pastors. It will be a new kind of extreme sport :-p
