I attended my brother-in-law’s church last week and they <br />had this enormous aquarium behind the pulpit. The pastor <br />pointed out the sharks and talked about how they <br />represented the devil. <br /> <br />Then on cue, as the choir sang some crescendo-y type <br />thing, church employees on ladders dropped raw meat <br />into the tank and the sharks went crazy tearing it apart. <br /> <br />Some of the congregants were visibly shaken by the <br />spectacle, kids were crying, and one elderly lady even <br />threw up. <br /> <br />But I thought the demonstration was fantastic. It really <br />made the point that we have to stay away from the <br />ocean of temptation, otherwise Jesus will stand on a <br />ladder and, despite our cries for mercy, dropp us into a <br />shark tank.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shark-bait/
