I think Grant had a similar sermon illustration (oh, ages ago) about a trombone player with similar ideas- except the firework was in his trombone… I don’t remember the sermon though- just the illustration.
Matt - great site! Still wiping away the tears - but then, it’s an illness I have, not a sense of humour! I’ve linked to here from disclosing new worlds (http://lectionary.wolsblog.com) cos your stuff makes for great resources. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by Lawrence.
