Jimmy Buffett featured in worship service
Posted: March 15, 2008 10:57 pm
Many of you know I'm a pastor and I've often used Jimmy Buffett in subtle ways in worship....an opening story about ignorance and apathy from a high school student who says "I don't know and I don't care"
I've said, "As the great theologian Jimmy Buffett says, 'If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.'" multiple times.
But I never thought that Cheeseburger in Paradise would make its way into worship.
I'm sitting in worship last Wednesday night with my family...my five year old son on my lap, and we are reading responsively about Jesus' dying and the thief on the cross. We read the words, "Today you will be with me in paradise."
A little louder than I would have liked, my son immediately goes into backup singer mode and sings out "paradiiiiisssssse....Cheeseburger in Paradise, paradiiiiissssssse."
That's my boy.
For the record, he wants to be a pastor too.
Peace,
Matt
