That UU church has some interesting sermons... xD

I want cake.
This month's theme is creativity, and last Sunday they told a children's story. This is a retelling by memory, so I don't remember the names, but....
There was a street were every house was the same- red bricks and a black roof. Mr Fluffer loved being on the street and being the same...but then one day, a bird carrying an orange bucket of paint flew over Mr Fluffer's house and he dropped a big orange splat of paint on his house. Mr Fluffer saw the paint splat, looked outside, and just stared at it...and left it there.
After a few days, the neighbors said, "We are sick of seeing that orange splat. You need to paint your house."
"Okay," Mr Fluffer said. And he painted his roof sky blue and his walls white, keeping the orange splat on the roof.
"He's lost his mind!" the neighbors said.
"This is my house, and I'm me," Mr Fluffer replied.
And the next day he planted some trees, an alligator, and a hammock. His neighbors once again said, "He's lost it." they asked his next door neighbor Joe to go over and talk to him.
Joe went to Mr Fluffer's house, had a nice chat...
And the next morning Joe's house looked like a cruise ship. The neighbors said, "Joe has lost it, too." So they went over to speak to him, and one by one, everyone's houses changed and expressed their hopes and dreams.
When people go down that street now and see the wide and diverse designs, they think "these people are strange..." but they are just being themselves.
It's a goofy story, but I enjoyed it. xD
Looking forward to this Sunday, and also the Wednesday potluck I'm going to. ^.^
