Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary

Contrary to popular belief, "Mary was declared pregnant" was not the first sorrow nor was it the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh. For more accurate information on the Seven Sorrows, CLICK HERE.

Moses and his electric guitar

I don't remember giving Moses an electric guitar.

Paul's Message on Marriage

LOL. I am amused by the Message's version of 1st Corinthians 7 : 25-28:

Are you married? Stay married. Are you unmarried? DON'T. GET. MARRIED. But there's certainly no sin in getting married, whether you're a virgin or not. All I am saying is that when you marry, you take on additional stress in an already stressful time, and I want to spare you if possible.

Of course, the italics, CAPS and all the "additional" emphases were mine; the rest were as is.

Paul's single by the way.

LOL. Paul, Paul... :)

Disclaimers

One of Us
by Joan Osborne

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with him
In all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

*And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets (*)

Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome(*)

Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

To be honest, I do like this song but just a few disclaimers:

1. My name's Jesus.
   
2. As a matter of fact I DO have a face - CLICK HERE for potraits of me
   
3. I am NOT a slob... though mother might beg to differ :P
   
4. Father and HS keeps me company
   
5. The Pope does not have my number; don't bother asking him for it
6. I don't have a sixth disclaimer...
7. Or a seventh - I just like things in sevens. ;)
   

Oh by the way, if you know Miss Osborne, could you tell her that although she can't meet me face to face she can now email me her questions? Thanks.

How can God be all-knowing?

I get that question a lot and I sometimes chuckle at the answers theologians and philosophers gave in an attempt to answer this question.

Don't Read This

I don't know what's with humans (OK... "I know", I was being rhetorical) they do exactly the things which I had commanded them NOT to. Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. The Hebrews (whom I brought out of Egypt) broke my first commandment worshipping a golden calf. Now observe today's Gospel reading: notice that the more I insist that no one was to speak of the miracle I performed the more they kept talking about it! Argghhhhhh... humans! They will be the death of me - oh wait, they were. *sigh*

Hmmm. Perhaps I shall use reverse psychology the next time.

Money is not the only thing that grows on trees...

There was once I overheard...

- OK, I don't actually "overhear" because I know-all -

...a conversation between two youth ministers:

Youth Leader 1: We don't have enough full-time workers.
Youth Leader 2: [cynical] What do you suggest?
Youth Leader 1: [cheery] Well, we should hire MORE full-time workers!
Youth Leader 2: [sarcastic] Well do they grow on trees?
Youth Leader 1: [cheery] Yes!
Youth Leader 2: [annoyed + rolls eyes] What sort of trees?
Youth Leader 1: MinisTREES!

LOL. Cute creatures I have made. :)
