And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats…”
“And the Lord spake, saying, ”First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.’

COT:
Prayers for our nation, and that we as men can use our strength to stand in the gap, speak truth, and have discernment of who to be around and talk to. Prayers for Coach K’s coworker and the coworkers M who is battling cancer. Prayers for Trojan, as he has had to be apart of the investigation of the fatal helicopter crash in Jim Thorpe. Prayers for the families of the victims in that crash.
Thanks for following my quite lead today, despite it being quite silly! Would love to see the reactions of people watching the security camera footage!
