Well, kids, it's another episode of Children's message bloopers!
Today I was responsible for the children's message and the scripture lesson is Jesus Ascension to Heaven. Well, my pastor thought of a cool idea of getting a balloon to illustrate how Jesus went up to heaven and how we couldn't reach it, and that Jesus was coming back. So I think this is a good idea. Well I'm running late this morning so I grab my balloon and sneak it up front during the first hymn and secure it to the children's message "props" table leg. About 20 seconds before I'm supposed to go do my children's message, my balloon worked itself free and floated up to the top of our 80 foot ceiling and end of the string that's tied to it that looked so long in the walmart store is still about 20 feet above my head. Great. Oh well!

Naw, that's a teachable moment. You just briefly hit the Ascension stuff and instead talk about "how Jesus went up to heaven and how we couldn't reach it, and that Jesus was coming back". And bang-o you still have an Ascension sermon. Jesus, "the balloon" is already in heaven, but the disciples are still here on earth just like us to show others that great message that Jesus rose for us and is in heaven preparing a place for us.
Hey, you forgot the best part about when it actually worked itself loose! I call for an amendment to the story!
