Misunderstandings

Postby kaji » Tue Aug 31, 2004 10:55 am

This is just a short story.

The pastor of my church has a slight slur in his speach, and once in a while I wont really be sure what he is saying (especially when he gets excited). This was one of those instances.

For the past couple weeks, our pastor has been talking about a guest speaker who is coming to our Sunday Evening service. The gentleman is from Juice for Jesus. Ok, I thought, I have heard weirder names for evangelistic groups, ‘Juice for Jesus’ seamed like a possibility. After all, the world is thirsty for the water of Gods Word, right?

Well, it gets to Sunday evening, and Pastor is introducing the speaker, and it still sounds like ‘Juice for Jesus’ to me. But I didn’t really see any juice around. It wasn’t until about half way through his message that it clicked. ‘Jews for Jesus!’

Boy, that explained the juice shortage real quick! ^_^

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

The picture I had of a bunch of old ladies handing out cups of Tang with bible versus on them was pretty much shattered by this short man and his Menorah.

I’m just glad that I didn’t ask any one where the juice was. :sweat:

That is both the funniest and the saddest thing I've read today - and I just came from "Most Guiltiest Fun."

Thank you.

So did you ever get any juice?

No, sadly I did not get any juice. :(

But we did have Ice cream afterwards. :)

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

Thanks UC. :thumb:

Does any one else have any a humorous account of a misunderstanding?
