What is Dave doing?

We missionaries have a serious job, but it’s important as well that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Kelly snapped this picture during the prayer time at Monte de Sion Church in Sacalum, Yucatán. As she showed it to me this morning, she asked, “What were you doing?” Well, I thought I would open this up to the opinions of our readers. What do you think it looks like I’m doing? Write a comment and we’ll highlight the most creative interpretation.

    Demonstrating that by the power of God you would use your hand to chop straight through the pulpit. The congregation was in fervent prayer over the matter. How did it go?

    That's the problem. In the adrenaline of the moment, you don't think about the after effects. I was thankful that Kelly was there to drive me to the hospital following the service.

    BTW Mike, do you mind posting your interpretation to my site? I'd like to keep the ideas in one place.

    Well, considering the position of your hand and the oriental bows everyone is doing, I’m thinking martial arts. Am I right?

    I imagine you are doing the “ROBOT” illustrating that God has given us freedom of choice and he does not call robots, but people. Sounds good to me 🙂 Cheers…..

    Putting Satan under your foot? Subduing an unruly teen? Dancing in the Spirit? On the point of falling backward after a hectic day?

    I say you are throwing up your hand in exasperation at realizing the Yankees will lose to the red soxs again!

    Normally, I like to interact with each commenter, but for now I’m keeping quiet to let the creative juices flow.

    New angle:
    Instructing the people of your mission to sing “Father Abraham.” “Everybody now. Left arm. Father Abraham had many sons . . .” ah, they don’t look too receptive. Maybe this song and idea don’t translate so well? 😉 They appear to be hiding their faces.

    In reality, I think you use your hands to talk, illustrate, and pray.

    BTW, thanks to your blog and my daughter’s Spanish class I’m brushing up on my skills.

    A TV is in the corner. That’s where you were looking. It is playing Jack Lalanne, and you are exercising with him. Some are praying, but most are just trying to stop from laughing as they’ve never seen such a sight!
