What a colorful life Pastor Allen has had, to keep coming up with all these great sermon illustrations. "The doomed canoe trip" will always be one of my favorites! There's got to be another message here, about mistaking a farmer's drainage ditch for the Mississippi River!
But the real message, that of the gracious farmer's wife and her hospitality, reminded me a a phrase from one of Pastor Allen's other favorite sources, Tolkien: "the last homely house" of Tom Bombadil (illustration on right, above)!
