“ A preacher who doesn’t believe in God”,
The NY Times headline proclaimed.
–
God read it, laughed and commented,
“I knew that. What the Times doesn’t know
–
is that half of Catholic priest do it for the boys,”
he said, blaspheming the church but not himself.
–
God turned the page
looking for more funny stuff.
–
“What is the blood of a poor man worth?”,
the Times headline cried.
–
“As much as a child’s, not more than my son’s.”
HE wryly chuckled, knowing the answer,
–
making a mental note to ask Jesus
to donate more to the world blood drive.
–
“Brat museum starts a Holocaust controversy”,
the Times horrifyingly screamed.
–
“God, I love a good dog more than anyone,
but hurting spaces are sacred and forever mine.”
–
“My church is a place of prayer, not Amazon.com,”
he howled updating his son’s words for the world.
–
“#Exposechristianschools: are readers weigh in,”
the final Times headline stated.
–
HE shook his head and then proclaimed:
“ The public school across the street,
–
trying to teach fact from fiction, good from bad,
that is a Christian school!
–
The underfunded school struggling the best it can,
that is a Christian school!
–
Spaces where you love your fellow man,
that is a Christian school!
–
Praying in your closet in a space only I can hear,
that is a Christian school!”
–
When HE was done
God handed the Times to Jesus.
–
Jesus reads it deeply
seeking the gospel truth.
–
He closed it with a sigh.
Jesus wept.
–
God saw Jesus weeping
and commented:
–
“My God”, HE said,
“Develop a sense of humor.”
–
Jesus wept. Jesus wept. Jesus wept.
And then He wept some more.
–
God cried, said he was sorry,
as HE and Jesus wept some more.
