Credential Pranks
Twelve years ago I was credentialed by the Illinois district of the Assemblies of God. I got a call today from the District Superintendent asking if I would speak at their district council--a gathering of all the ministers in that district. Pretty excited about the opportunity.
The funny thing is that I almost jeopardized my credentials because of a couple pranks a few of us pulled during our week-long credentialing seminar. We tee-peed the Superintendent's house. Not entirely sure what we were thinking :)
But the other prank won the prank prize.
It was sub-zero weather so Illinoisians keep their cars running if they aren't going to leave them for long. We would jump in to these running cars, move them a few parking spaces to play mind games with people, and then park them again.
No harm. No foul.
What I didn't take into account is that if you get into someone's running car they might think you're stealing it :) And they might chase you at speeds topping 100 mph. And it might scare the living daylights out of you.
Not sure if I'm going to confess before I speak at District Council or not :)
