When I was a bratster in my youth and went to the Circus, I loved the clowns. They were funny and silly. Oh to think of running away and being a clown at the Circus was the thing many young ones dreamed of back then. Today though, I hear that children and adults are so afraid of clowns. This is truly sad. Being in the clown ministry at my church I went and did some research for my costume etc and can really understand now why children and adults hate clowns. There are so many EVIL clowns and costumes. They are scary even to me.

I truly will enjoy being in a clown ministry --the puppet ministry has been so rewarding so far. It's a shame that in these times clowns are ugly with big teeth with evil intentions. It's fun to go back to the days of innocence with our church group where clowns are just silly and fun, plus we minister love, joy and especially the Lord to all.
