Evan's visit

On March 14th, the Pentecostal Church in Kirkland Lake had company in the way of a couple and their son. These people put on a program for the congregation that was very enlightening and enjoyable. The people were Sharon and Wilson Kindred and their son Evan. Evan is not really their son but we like to call him that as his name is Evan Hardwood Kindling and is actually a puppet. Wilson has become very adept at ventriloquism and has worked out a few skits for himself and Evan. Today's skit is about Evan and his report card from the school that he attends, "The school for dummies". It seems that he has not been handing his report card to Wilson so he can check up on Evan's progress in school. Evan has been hiding the card so Wilson will not see what Evan has or has not been doing in school. He eventually does surrender the evidence to Mr Chandler (Pastor Rob's father in law) who has been a school teacher and principal for many years and has a good knowledge of teaching and dealing with kids. There is a good conversation going on amongst Wilson, Evan and Mr Chandler as the details of Evan's progress is revealed.
As the story goes on we were rolling in the aisles with laughter with the comments that were flying from Evan to Wilson and between Mr Chandler and Evan.
Wilson also provided some good old Southern Gospel songs and a little teaching on the gospel. All was very well appreciated by all and no doubt Mr and Mrs Kindred and Evan will be invited for a return visit sometime in the future.

This is a post that was composed quite awhile ago and was not published at the time. I thought you might enjoy it even at this late date.
