Russ' Reflections - July

Father Russ July 01, 2015

Dear friends in Christ,

            Debbie and I want to thank all of you for your prayers and kind thoughts as we recover from our surgeries.  We both are doing fine – a little pain here and there, but nothing we can’t bear.  You are all so very special.

            I want to mention how wonderfully God works.  Time and again I see him taking a shocking situation and make a positive out of it.  I am so impressed with the relatives of those killed in the church in Charleston, SC.  Their forgiveness is humbling.  They are following Jesus. May we strive to follow their example.  Also, this horrible event has done more for race relations than anything that has happened in the last 10 years. 

            I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh.  Laughter is one of the greatest gifts God has given us.  So I want to share some humor with you.  This is The Bible by Children.  You may have seen some of them before, but I hope you enjoy them, and that they will bring a smile to your face.

The Bible by Children

  • The first book of the Bible is Genesis, in which Adam & Eve were created from an apple tree.
  • Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark.
  • Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day and a ball of fire by night.
  • Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the Apostles.
  • Unleavened bread is bread made without ingredients.
  • Moses went to the top of Mt. Cyanide to get the 10 commandments.
  • Joshua let the Hebrew in the battle of Geritol. 
  • David fought the Finkelsteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.
  • Solomon has 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
  • The people who followed Jesus were called the 13 decibels.
  • The Epistles were the wives of the Apostles.
  • One of the opossums was St. Matthew.
  • Paul preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marriage.
  • A Godly person should have only one wife. This is called monotony.

            May the Lord bless and keep you. 

In Christ’s Love,

Father Russ
