The Apostles’ Creed – I Believe in God
Last week, for my family and many of yours, was the first week of school, which often involves giving last-minute instructions to children while you are headed out the door in the morning, and hoping that they remember, or that your instructions even make sense in the rush and haste of the moment.
I'm reminded of the story about a truck driver who was delivering some penguins to the local zoo. But his truck broke down right outside the city. Luckily, a pickup truck passed by, and the driver flagged him down, giving him $300 and telling him, "Please take these penguins to the zoo." A few hours later the man saw the same guy heading the opposite direction with the penguins still in the back of his pickup. He yelled at the man, "You were supposed to take them to the zoo!" The pickup driver replies, "I did, but we had money left over, so now we're going to the movies."
