Something Funny

So on Sunday mornings, Johnathan has to be at church at 6:45 to prepare for the 1st service. While I typically prefer the first service (less special music!) I have been attending the 10 AM service since I meet friends who can't get up any earlier. The routine sort of evolved where I head to Starbucks at 9 AM to enjoy a little Bible reading before church. Many times I meet the youth pastor, Jon, there, who reminds me of California home (he's from San Diego and looks like it.)

Anyway, on Sunday I was reading in this Bible that has the NIV on one side and the Message on the other. I flipped to Psalm 1-- you know, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers."

Guess what the Message pulled out of its butt? "How well God must like you-- you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College."

And all God's people said . . . AMEN!
