Weird-Os

Ezekiel 5:1

"Wasn't that a great sermon today by Rev. Smiley?" Dave adjusted the rear view mirror as he backed out of their recently purchased exclusive church parking space. "Boy," he continued raving, "Pastor sure knows how to craft a message." "Every time I leave church on Sunday I feel ready to conquer the world!" "Um-hum," responded his wife, Lisa, as they turned out of the parking lot. " Oh! Can we stop by the mall?" she requested. Soon they were walking through the mall doors. "Let's head to the toy store," said Lisa. "Yep, that was a real shot in the arm today," Dave continued with his Sunday review, "Nothing can stop a believer!" Suddenly, a small crowd caught their attention. In the middle stood a rather average looking fellow with long hair. "What's going on?" Lisa wondered. They approached only close enough to hear. The young man was speaking of how America has drifted away from God and it is urgent that its people repent. Suddenly he whipped out a knife as the crowd collectively gasped and stepped back, but he turned the knife on his own hair and began to cut it off. "If we do not repent of our sin and return to Jesus, then we will be cut off just as I cut my hair off!" He flung his loose hair high into the air. "We will be scattered and destroyed and cut off from our Source of life if we do not return to loving and respecting God!" "Humph!" snorted Dave, "What a weird-O!" By then the security guards arrived and started hauling the man away. "Please repent!" were the last words he yelled out to the scattered listeners. "Must have a mental disorder," Dave muttered to himself. "But what if he is right?" questioned Lisa. "Coming from that nut?" responded Dave as he put his arm around her, "No way! "Let's just stick with Pastor Smiley." 2 Timothy 4:2-4
