Good video! While I seldom use my husband for sermon illustrations, I often use my kids. That can be equally problematic. They didn't seem to mind much when they were toddlers , but as the kids get older I find that they get more and more upset if I talk about them! I guess the moral of the story is always "Think before you speak", especially when speaking about others.

Amen RCW. Kerry and I laughed during this video. I am learning to ask permission to use anyone during public messages. Even more, the audience needs to know you asked permission or you will lose credibility in their minds.
