    Nazarene's prefer Daisies.

    I've become friends with a guy who is the minister of music at a nearby Baptist Church. This past Sunday night we went there to see their annual night of music. Afterwards we were talking and he introduced me as the music guy at the Nazarene Church in Lakeville. To which one of the ladies said, "I like Nazarene's, they can really sing. One of the men then said, "yeah but Nazarene's don't really like Tulips." Then their Pastor, who unbeknown to me was standing right behind me said with a grin, "yeah Nazarenes prefer Daisies." Then with a plucking motion he said "He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me, He loves me not."

    Still shaking my head to think that an Indie Fundie Pastor has the ability to actually tell a good joke.

    To return the favor I told the joke about how Bev Shea became sad as he thought of what heaven would be like. He told Cliff Barrows that he would probably be directing one of heavens myriad of choirs, and he said that he would be happy to be able to sing for all eternity. Still he was sad when he realized that Billy would really not have anything to do there.

    To know and to serve God, of course, is why we're here, a clear truth, that, like the nose on your face, is near at hand and easily discernible but can make you dizzy if you try to focus on it hard. But a little faith will see you through.

    When seeing the title I thought you were going to say something about Daisy in Li'l Abner or Daisy Duke.

    Jim, those are two of the best lines I've heard in years, and I'm surprised I haven't heard either of them before.

    As for Bev, Cliff, and Billy, I'm grateful the Lord has let them live long and useful lives, but a little concerned that He doesn't seem to want them up there.

    I'll admit. I don't get it.
    “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Eph. 6:5-6).

    Thanks for admitting it. Now, I don't feel so bad for not getting it either.
    Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18

    There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. 1 John 4:18a

    TULIP is an acronym for the 5 points of calvinism. The daisy joke is in reference to the Wesleyan belief that one can surrender one's salvation.
