This is, easily, 1.) the funniest thing I have ever read,

and 2.) proof that I am the luckiest human alive.

Read this, immediately: The THINGS I LOVE blog entry.

After you read it, tell me -- am I not lucky to share my life with this jewel of a human being, who makes me laugh out loud every day?

And, no, you don't even need to answer that.

Matt Elliott! I thought of you!

Went to a "barn raising" this weekend (church in the sticks built a new building, y'see) and much doctrine and fellowship was had there, all hail.

Anywho, we're having a good old church of Christ time, when the songleader (using mimeographed copies of the songs -- mark of the true professional) tells us to take our "Songs of Faith and Praise" and turn to "Victory in Jesus." The song in the book, though, read differently from his version . . .

Our book said: "And somehow Jesus came and bro't to me the victory"

Our songleader sang: "When I obeyed the blest command, I GAINED the victory."

We were all actually frightened for a moment by the book -- the nerve! That Jesus might come and speak to us before our full immersion baptism! What were they thinking?
