SURFER
BOB: Fire in the hole!!!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Bob, what are you doing with
fire?
SFX:
Explosion, Blast!!
PENNY:
Hey, what’s going on?!?
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Oh nothing, just your cyber-spaced
cowboy friend up to his usual antics.
SURFER
BOB: Whew, that oughta ‘bout do it.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Do what Bob? That blasting
has got to stop, it feels like an earthquake every
time you blast the computer.
PENNY:
Hold up. Did you say blast!?!
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Yeah. Blasting. Seems Bob
was too impatient to wait for you to get that
‘virus’ thing so he’s been deleting
files.
PENNY:
Bob! Front an center, right now.
SURFER
BOB: (speaking loudly) Penny, you’re
gonna have to speak up. I can barely hear ya.
PENNY:
Take those earplugs out Bob. No wonder you can’t
hear me.
SURFER
BOB: (speaking loudly) Oh, yeah. (in normal
tone) Pennirita you’ll be pleased to know
that all viruses on sectors 7-20 have been removed.
SURFER
BOB: Uh, come to think about it, sectors
7-20 are, uh, gone.
PENNY:
Bob, what did I say?
SURFER
BOB: You said take my earplugs out, and
I did. See, no earplugs, gotta little ear wax…no
problemo!
PENNY:
My computer, what did I say about my computer
having a ‘disk error’.
SURFER
BOB: You said we had a 911.
PENNY:
Right, a 911 that would be handled with
this.Not blasting my hard drive.
SURFER
BOB: Kinda’ got caught-up in the
fast response thing there Pennirita. You know
me, you say 911, I jump. I mean I must pumped
about 200 pounds of TNT back there into sector…
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Well, sounds like his intentions
were good, maybe he just went about it a little
wrong.
PENNY:
You can say that again.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: You know, as Christians our
first response to crisis should be to assist.
PENNY:
Yeah. So long as you know what you’re doing.
I mean look at this place, it looks like an earthquake
hit.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Oh, this? This was nothing.
Did you know some of the worst earthquakes in
history happened not too long ago? Take a look
at his earth-shaking factoid.
PENNY:
Wow, I remember those earthquakes being on the
news, but somehow I didn’t remember that
one million were left homeless.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, and just imagine how
long it will take to rebuild. Like I said earlier,
as God’s people we should respond to situations
like the earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan…in
Christian love.
PENNY:
Right. Our response. I’m with ya Mr. C.
Bob, you out there? I got an assignment for you.
SURFER
BOB: Right here Penorita.
PENNY:
I want you to dig up Southern Baptists’
response to the earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan.
SURFER
BOB: Penny, I’m way ahead of ya.
Hang on gang, we’re gonna drop in on this
net waaaaaaave!
PENNY:
Man that’s great. I see what you mean, it
is our responsibility to reach out to those who
are hurting, especially following a disaster like
an earthquake.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Yes it is, but don’t
get too caught up on the responsibility part of
it. It is an opportunity as well.
PENNY:
Opportunity? How could an earthquake be an opportunity?
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Simple. When we, as Christians,
respond to situations like those in Turkey and
Taiwan we allow others to see Christ living in
us. In a very real sense, others see Christ through
our actions. This presents the opportunity to
share Christ. There is nothing more important
than knowing Jesus as your personal savior. So
by reaching out to people who have gone through
a traumatic event such as an earthquake we can
help them put their lives back together by showing
and sharing Christ’s love.
PENNY:
Oh, I get it. So when volunteer teams go into
countries following a natural disaster, they share
their faith.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: You got it!
SURFER
BOB: Hey, speaking of getting it, I think
I got things pretty cleaned-up back here in sectors
15, 18, and 19.
PENNY:
Bob there’s no need to worry about that.
My new software has rid my hard drive of any errors.
MR.
CHRISTOPHER: Too bad there isn’t
a program that could get rid of cyber-surfing,
cowboy, viruses!
SURFER
BOB: Hey, I heard that…CHRISTOPHER!
PENNY:
OK, OK Bob-O. How about pulling up a letter from
one of our viewers?
SURFER
BOB: Yeah, letters. That should be on sector…
MR. CHRISTOPHER:
I sure do enjoy hearing from our Kids On Mission.
I sure would like to hear from, you. Why don’t
you write in with your questions, comments or
tell us how you are sharing Jesus? Write to us
at: Kids On Mission, P.O. Box 6767, Richmond Virginia
23230.
SURFER BOB:
Hey Penny, I got that letter you wanted.
PENNY: Bob,
we just read a letter!
MR. CHRISTOPHER:
I think your friend may have lost a little hearing
with all that blasting.
SURFER BOB: Dear
Surfer Bob, would ya look at that. Folks writin’
in to ME. Folks should write to me, I mean I’m
hangin ten all the time trying to search up them
stories. Out here surfin the net why I tell ya,
I’m the star of this here thing. Where was
I? Oh, yeah. Dear Surfer Bob…
