[Breaking News] Boy Floats away in a Balloon

moes when this story started it was 5 am over here.

I got up switched on the TV and was like 'what the hell? - who gives a rats arse'

I mean, who the hell has a helium balloon in their backyard?

Media beat up.

 

called my shot

Look here Crocodile Dundee, I was guaranteeing this boy was fine and dandy eating candy way back when the story was just getting wings.

You can't just waltz in here and scream about how your Aussie ass was just waking up and fixing to make some wallaby stew when you saw the story and immediately deduced that it was a bunch of rubbish.

 

He was up at 5 AM to pray that the kid was alright.

Right, SirCharlesFan?



I mean come on. Answered prayer is answered... is it not, just because it doesn't fit your exciting parameters?

Best case scenario happened here... except for the money and resources wasted on the chasing of the balloon because we were all led to believe a kid was inside it.

Now your collective prayers should be focused on the protection of the older brothers who claimed repeatedly that little Falcon Punch was in the thing.



I'm praying that some folks get an understanding of the term "answer."


So we got a bit of tension and had a thrill at the expense of what turned out to be no threat to a child.... I'll accept that as an answer to prayer.

 

What were you praying for? I could understand if you were praying that God gives the child to safely guide the balloon to the ground...but you stated that you were praying the boy was at home.

Either the boy was at home or he wasn't. Are you saying prayer has the ability to transport the boy from the balloon back to his house? What were you hoping for your prayers to accomplish?

 

You think your all that with your shiny reputation.

 

No... I was not praying for a Star Trek episode...



I'm was leaving it open ended... more like, "Lord, if that kid is in there, let it land safely... if he's hiding somewhere, let them find him safe"

I always pray for more of a "best case scenario" or a "probable good ending."

I always stay positive.


I was hoping that ultimately, we'd have closure on the whole stunt, and that it would be a good ending for the kid.

Look back through my posts on the thread (before people began mocking prayer), I was agreeing with hopeful statements.

Prayer should never be focused on completely absurd things. But for plausible things. Unless the faith for impossible is truly there, which I believe the Sovereign Creator to be capable of, I'm not going to pray for those things.


If the kid would have been found dead... Then I'd pray for the comfort of the family - not for the kid to spring back to life, for example.

 

I thought I was all that long before that.

 

So you're saying you were always as long as your current reputation bar?

 

lol. moes brings his A game everday. I admire your dedication to the craft.

 

Now that was FUNNY!

 

Holy crap -- what is wrong with our country, and why couldn't the balloon have taken the entire family up to about 40,000 feet.

I'm sorry, but this whole thing smells of the father wanting more publicity.

 

That rap was still better than Average Homeboy.

 

Now that the boy is alive and safe, I can say that Go Falcon Go T-shirt is one of the funniest things ever!

 

Yes. Now I agree with the humor 100%.

 

"I like turtles."

 

If my kids ever pulled a stunt like that giving the media it's field day, I'd strap him in that helium balloon and he'll be drifting for real...

So what'd he blow?

 

Let's say, hypothetically, that if the older brother was indeed jumping up and down screaming that the six year old is in the balloon, and the balloon is in fact floating away, wouldn't your first reaction be to go look in the attic?
