Jesus visited me today saying He wanted to break bread with me I'm glad I had wine to go with it He asked if we could watch a football game He grimaced and grunted with each linebackers' illegal hit He rooted with whoever had the ball wouldn't drink my wine I had a twelve-pack in the fridge He sucked it down and belched didn't surprise me I always figured Him for being just one of the guys ©June 1, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ What does a clock do when it's hungry?

 Well now, dear Jerry, what a privilege to have Jesus visiting you ... Jesus indeed shared our life with all the consequences involved.If He came it means you called for Him. He knows you and loves you. He nurtured you with food that can't be kept in the fridge! It was fun to watch the two of you ... Margherita |

I love this piece. For myself it portrays Jesus in a way that feels to me to be closer to the nature of the man in His own time than how we tend to characterize Him today. Good write Lori.: ) |

I remember an author, who had an idea of Jesus as a common boy in his childhood. Jesus playing games with other children, loving his mum and having a childish curiosity about the world around him. Although the Holy Writ says he was more serious ) |

Thank you, Gale, I believe that the child called Jesus probably had a typical childhood. When, and if, he was informed that he was someone very special I don't know. All I know is I like to think of him as a beer-drinking, football loving, down to earth kinda guy. I appreciate you stopping by. I see that you new here, welcome to the blue room. ~*~ A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.-John Burroughs ~*~ |
