Carowinds '05

We had a grand total of 24 who dared brave the heat and the other elements to make the annual treck to the land of Carowinds on June 27, 2005.

Until yesterday, rain had been as scarce as praise for George Bush’s Social Security plan. When the rain finally came at the end of our day at Carowinds on Monday, Bro. Ben didn’t kill the fatted calf, but we held a revival in our coach bus. Attendance was mandatory. The cats, rats, fire ants and even the snakes were allowed to attend the services. The snakes showed up without umbrellas and were chastised for their lack of faith. This caused some concern amongst the teens, adults and other snake haters...especially the girls & ladies. An attempt was made to cast out the cats, rats, snakes and one pink elephant that David Brown saw in a glucose induced rush after smelling the cotton candy on the way out of the park. As the fire ants were rushing out of the door because an odiferous smell rising from the back of the bus (it wasn't pretty), a demon with a stopped up nose invaded the generator's charging capability.

We rode the highway to the land of McDonalds, took over the place for about a half of an hour, and then tried to proceed onward and Northward to the Safe Haven of our beloved Berean Baptist Church. We finally had to stop ere the coach bus give up the ghost. As Bro. Larry Steelman made an attempt to cast the demon out of the bus, 4 teenagers and a well hidden cockroach thought he was after them and made and egress (exit) from the bus to play "freeze tag". Unfortunately for the roach, he was tagged with a size 12 shoe. It was not a pretty site and he (the roach) was no longer able to continue the game. Eventually almost everybody got off the bus for the game of freeze tag, which was right much fun until Jonathon Moser tried to take a dip out of the asphalt with his wrist watch and left hand. I believe that Bro. Ben and Mrs. Maggie's grandaughter, Madison , actually won the game, as everyone claimed that she either too fast or too short to see. At any rate, she stole the show, but that's just the biased opinion of the editor (litle ole me).

Realizing that this demon would not be exorcized without much prayer and fasting, we called Pastor Baity and he instructed Bro. Ray to come and extract us all from the parking lot in the land of the big Cat. We were all greatful and most everyone was home safely tucked in their little beds shortly after the 1:00 a.m. hour.
