Fear Factor
Most people remember the show Fear Factor where people did crazy things of course to win money. And it included everything from eating bugs to laying down in a container filled with worms…or other silly stuff.
Well I must admit it did make them face their fears even if the show was a bit over the top.
Well last Sunday in church I spoke on fear because it is something so many people struggle with and because we have been declaring Nothing’s too hard for God, he helped many people who responded for prayer and most of them because of anxiety attacks.
Well as part of the props we decided to bring in a big snake… and let it be known - I can identify with “Inidana Jones” (remember Raiders of the Lost Ark?) and his famous line in that movie was “I hate snakes”… well ditto Indiana - so do I.
So even though I was “quite cool” when they brought him into the sanctuary - (his name was was Hernia) … on the inside I was not liking having that 12 foot Python anywhere near me.
Well I am here to tell you… I joined with 2-3 others and we held the snake and here’s the picture to prove it. It may seem like nothing to you. But for me it was huge. I had not touched a snake in almost 50 years. Since I just turned 57 this week - if I wait another 50 years that means I will handle my next snake at 107 and that will be soon enough!
