He Played to Rave Reviews
War Admiral followed up on the smashing success of his Christmas Parade appearance with a thoroughly convincing appearance today in the role of "goat" at the Trinity Methodist Church's Christmas Eve service. Things got off to a rocky start. When it was time to head out he slipped into his, at times infuriating, star/diva gone Hollywood mode and insisted on riding in the front seat of the truck. I had planned for him to ride in the back, but it seems that I did not hear him yell "shot gun" as we got to the truck.
He did not like being handed off to one of his co stars, a shepherd, and insisted on me staying within arms reach while waiting for his stage call. Of course, all of the tension resulted in a few "accidents". But far from being embarrassing, each turned out to be powerful ad libs that gave a certain gritty realism to his character.
When he was lead down the aisle of the church he was not prepared to be confronted by all of the flashing phone/cameras that went off like fire works. Unfortunately, I forgot to warn him about the paparazzi. Next time he will be prepared.
I do not understand why some churches spend fortunes on consultants to develop plans to increase attendance. Here is the formula for success and, in the spirit of the season, I will give it out at no charge.
To draw in kids have at least one goat attend each church service. For adults, start serving cracklin biscuits at church breakfasts.
Without a doubt you will put Satan on the run in your community.

Could the "accidents" have had anything to do with the fact that he was a Baptist goat in a Methodist church?
