How to Fly

I threw myself at Existentialism and missed. So now I'm a Lutheran.

I'm taking aim at postmodernism. I have a bad feeling about this.

Big Purple Dinosaur

There's a guy who sits down front at the early service, and you know it when he's there. People usually react to him in one of two ways - they laugh or groan.

He sings loud; and off key; and off tempo. Especially when he gets to one of those old favorite hymns, he really lets loose, and sings it the way he always has, the way he has always liked to sing it. It's the way nobody else likes.

But I say that if everybody sang with as much heart as he does, we would have heavenly worship.

How he sings is not about you.

Epidemic

Doctor Jesus was puzzled that so many of his patients were dying. After all, he had diagnosed them correctly and sent them off to the pharmacy with proper prescriptions.

Clearly, the pharmacy was the place to begin investigating.

"Didn't my patients come here to have their prescriptions filled?"

"Well, yes, they did."

"And did you give them their medicine?"

"No, actually, I didn't."

"Why in the world not? Don't you know how sick they are?"

"See, that's just it. I personally don't believe in illness."

"Come again?"

"As far as I'm concerned, everybody is OK. It's really not for me to judge who's sick. Besides, if I keep telling people they're sick, they'll get mad at me. And then they won't come to my pharmacy anymore."

From then on, Jesus told his patients not to go to that pharmacy.
