"Your Bible is the best alarm clock."

It comes with its own "snooze" function...
(See...I don't believe that. But it's too easy. Toooooo easy. If they set it on a tee for me, I'm gonna hit it out of the park.)

I suppose "Bkfst with the Risen Lord" was out of the question? John 21--fish sticks for breakfast, anybody?
ReplyDeleteMy Bible is the best alarm clock? If I'm late for work some morning, can I sue God?

Have you ever tried reading the Bible? I don't mean like Christians do, but for real, front to cover? Let me tell you, you don't know how right you are.
So I should try to read the Bible like I'm not a Christian? Sorry...I wouldn't want to pretend to be something I'm not.
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, it's hard to get through plenty of stuff in the Bible without yawning or just giving up. I do it all the time. I'm open-minded enough to believe that God found it important enough to be in there for a reason and if I can't make heads or tails of it, that's my fault not His. Not everyone can handle that. And I'm fine with being different from them.
Glad to have you back, Francois. It'd been a while since you commented!
"I don't mean like Christians do, but for real." Huh? I resent that remark. I think.
ReplyDeleteI can totally imagine conversations with Jesus looking like arguing. Me saying "what?!?" at ever-increasing volumes, throwing hands up in the air in bewilderment, furrowed brow - almost frown-like, and Jesus telling me over and over again that I don't understand.
ReplyDeleteI've always found that the Bible isn't yawn-inducing because of the content (which is generally fascinating), but due to the style it's written in. My 11th grade English teacher would have a field day with some of the prose and grammar. :)
ReplyDeleteIt holds up pretty well against other literature of that same time and world. And it beats Kant's Critique of Pure Reason hands down!
ReplyDeleteYou know, there are plenty of useful books that were never meant to be read from cover to cover. Like the dictionary. Or the phone book. Of course, the Bible also has some pretty riveting parts.
ReplyDeleteI don't even get the alarm clock one.
I saw the arguing sign when I was visiting Manasas over spring break! I didn't have a camera on me at the time. I'm so glad someone else got to it!
ReplyDeleteI like that one of the churches is called "The Rock."
