Most people don't relish the prospect of having to kiss a llama, and Pastor Don Scandrol of Dutilh United Methodist Church in Cranberry Township no doubt is one of them.

But, to his credit, Scandrol, in order to beef up enthusiasm for a worthy project, agreed to forgo reluctance about such a kiss - and, he was "rewarded" with the requirement that he make good on the promise.

Scandrol promised to kiss a llama if the church's youth group raised $10,000 during World Vision's 30-Hour Famine held in February. The youth group not only raised $10,000, but also an additional $2,618, ensuring that their pastor would have no excuse for backing out of the deal.

A picture in Monday's Butler Eagle captured the moment when Scandrol puckered up to plant a kiss on a llama named Formal Attire.

Scandrol is proof that sometimes a pastor who is dedicated to good works has to go to extraordinary means to guarantee the desired result.

But would he kiss a python?
