At our Hallelujah Festival on Halloween night, the event was almost concluded when a gentleman in my church challenged me to a jousting match. You know those inflatable jousting thingys...anyway, I couldn't refuse a challenge, could I? Especially when he stated that for every time I knocked him off his stand, he would give the church $100.00. When he said this, I was ready to rumble!!
It was best out of five. He knocked me down the first time and I thought, oh no, I just lost 100.00 for my church!! The next time he went down. I think he "fell" down cuz I didn't even touch him :). The next two falls would be all his as I knocked him down for a total of three times. I'm not convinced that he didn't let me win the matches but either way it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it! Not to mention, the church got $300.00 for it. The best $300.00 the church ever received!
He is quite a guy and I enjoyed the challenge!
Anyone wanna joust?

That's a great story! More churches need people like that :-)
I concur! I love the fact that he came up with a creative way in which to donate to the church that night! I love creativity in all shapes and sizes! Even if it means beating me with a joust stick! :)
Thats awesome...sorry I missed it. I worked that night...but hey I'll be there Sunday.
