Timeless Illustrations

(Another visit with fictitious Pastor Jeff Mutton at

Good Lord Community Church, Middlefield,

Idaho.) By Rev. Paul Lintern

This week’s clergy luncheon had an assignment

attached, a reporting, which was unusual for

those that gathered at Pam’s Pizza Place. After

embracing their age and joyfully admitting they

are old, each of them decided to use an outdated

item for a sermon illustration, just to see how the

younger congregants would respond. “I brought

out an old manual typewriter for children’s

church and showed them how people wrote back

in the last century, in the 1900's,” Rev. Mike

smiled. “I gave them a little demo, typing, ‘The

quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.’ I’ve

still got it! “My fingers are sore this morning,

though. I forget how hard it is to push down

those keys!” Mike laughed, adding, “I even used

carbon paper, which fascinated all the kids.

“Unfortunately, one of the toddlers tried to eat it.

Thought it was a licorice Fruit Roll-up.”

They all laughed, but then Tony asked, “Things

we learn when we are young will stay with us all

our life, so that is why we learn the teachings of

Jesus and share it with whatever tools or

technology we can,” he said.
