#123. Flags, handbells and puppets.

My friend told me that people in church uses flags sometimes in their service because it makes it easier for the Holy Spirit to find you. He believes it’s the church’s version of one of those little guys on aircraft carriers that help land the fighter jets by waving the orange lights in their hands. When the Holy Spirit is trying to land in your church it is able to see the flags and have an easier landing. As far as handbells go, I think that must be an old testament thing. I don’t remember handbells but I’m sure there were some in Joel. But as far as puppets go I don’t think there’s a Biblical reference for them. Although, that would be awesome. I wish there was a disciple named Robert who was really good with puppetry. And whenever Jesus would tell a parable to a crowd, he would act it out next to him with the puppets. This would anger the other disciples but Jesus would keep saying, “I got a fever and the only cure is more puppet. Really explore the whole parable with the puppets.” That just morphed into a complete rip off of the SNL cowbell skit, but that’s why I wrote post #1.
