I had a request to post the Letterman spoof that we did this past Sunday... so here it is:
Pastor Dave's Top 10 Ways to Stop Worrying
10. Be Happy - As in "Don't Worry, Be Happy!" (cue
cheesy music - and yes, we used it)
9. Go shopping for $150,000 worth of new clothes!
8. Make an insanely large donation to the church.
(sure would help me stop worrying!)
7. Be endorsed by Oprah.
6. Birth Control
5. Apply for a government bailout and then go to a
luxurious spa in Cancun!
4. Back out of your hunting trip with Dick Cheney!
3. Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate.
2. Fall asleep to another one of Pastor Dave's
sermons.
And the #1 Way to Stop Worrying...
1. Play Michigan! (what can I say, the whole state is
obsessed this week!)
Obviously the sermon that followed this sketch made it pretty clear that none of these things could actually take our worry away... only a relationship with Christ can do that. Our congregation responded well to it, though :-)
