Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you’ve planned. While I’ve never taken a motorcycle out onto the platform, I can understand the disappointment in the missed opportunity. Have you ever told a story, illustration or joke that just didn’t work? You missed the punch line or left out a crucial part of the story. I have on many occasions. I don’t want to laugh at other people’s mistakes, but I had to on this one. You can’t miss the mistake here, it’s rather obvious. I’m glad the disclaimer at the beginning of the video stated that no pastors were hurt in this segment. Watch for yourself. Then observe the reaction of the crowd. So how do you recover from this one? I don’t think this was the plan for the opening of the lesson.
