I came to Christianity from a Buddhist background, and combined with hearing loss through prolonged exposure to really loud noises, I misheard some things.
Like, Jesus healed leopards. Since He's the Lion of Judah, thus seemed pretty cool, that He had an affinity for big cats, but what about tigers and cheetahs and panthers? Were they left out?
And then...
I hope I'll be surviving
to the ending of this story
when Christ will be arriving
with His Clowns of Glory,
whom I will then gladly join,
big red nose and floppy shoes,
and will then sinners enjoin
to hear the bright Good News
that Calvary was not a test,
but is a hospital.
It's not for the righteous best,
but for those who fell
and can only stand again
by His Blood, and by His Pain.
Sylvia rose from the blood of a dead puppy in her womb, and the pain if adandonment in a Texas summer field. She gets it, and she can still laugh.
Ah ... NOW I get it!! Your first line says it all. Be kind to your wife on April Fools Day, man. No stupid surprises, ok?!
ReplyDeleteDeliberate unkindness does not reign in our home. Satan finds those avenues as strongholds.
DeleteAnd the crazy fallen Angel has no place here, as we filled our spaces with Jesus and scripture. No space for anything else.

Andrew, your humor always shines through! I am so grateful for the time spent in Christ's hospital. His grace and mercy were just what I needed! Blessings!
