A Story From Rev. Craig...
Everyone likes to be liked but when I was in elementary school I wanted to be popular too. The problem was I had this friend. His name was Joe. He was my best friend. Joe was not popular at all. In fact, he was really unpopular. Most of the kids in my grade didn't like Joe and they made fun of him a lot. Because I was Joe's friend, the popular kids wouldn't be friends with me. One day a group of the popular kids came to me and said, "Hey, if you stop being friends with Joe, you can be our friend." I always wanted to be one of the popular kids and now I had my chance. But what about Joe? I thought about what to do and then did what I think was the right thing.
What do you think I did?
What would you do? Why?
