Then
Jesus said to
those Jews
who believed
in Him,
'If you abide in
My Word, you are
My disciples...'
And you shall know
the truth, and
the truth shall
make you
free.
[John 8:31-32]
*************************
"I wish I had signed
up, for the OTHER
class......Lord."

[SMILE.]

"'Breaking Free':
even the TITLE puts
way too much rersponsibilty
on a person. ECH!"
(Yawn.)
"I'm way too LAZY!"

[EMPATHETIC NOD.]

(Shrug.)
"But....I have some
FRIENDS in there,
so...."
(Frown.)
"Plus, the OTHER
class's book was
based on that guy
who wrote that
Purpose-Driven Life
manual...so...."
(Grimmace.)
"And, I'm LESS crazy
about him, than ..."

[NODDING.]
[SMILE!]

"I didn't even get the
BOOK, yet. So many
ladies signed up for the
course.....they were
all OUT a'them!"

[PATIENT VOICE.]
"Yes,
My child."

"Yeah."
(Frown.)
"YOU know me...
and those WORKBOOKS;
why do they have to
have such TEENY TINY
PRINT? It's HUMILIATING!"
(Grimmace.)

[CHUCKLE.]

(Sigh.)
(Frown.)
"This is such a
Goy'ish'kah* topic.
WHY are they always
talkin' about gettin'
set FREE?"

[PATIENT GAZE.]
[GENTLE CHUCKLE
FROM TO RIGHT
OF THE THRONE.]

(Whiny voice.)
"And,
that Beth Moore lady
is...(Sigh.).. so
TOGETHER."
(Frown.)
"It's kind'a hard
for me, to RELATE
to her: blond,
skinny, gorgeous,
talented, veritably
brimming OVER..
with self-
CONFIDENCE......
equally georgous,
adoring husband
who supports her,
all the way."
(Woeful face.)

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"A born SCHIK'SAH**."

"I understand,
Mein kin'der."

"What does she
know about
bein' a Jewish
humpty-DUMPTY?"

[CHUCKLE.]

"That's what I am,
Lord."

[PATIENT NOD.]

"Yep;
that's what I am:
a humpty-dumpty."

[GLANCE OVER TO
HIS RIGHT.]
[CHUCKLE..]

"And.....Ya know
what they said
about HIM,
Lord."

[WISE LOOK.]
"Who,
My precious?"

(Ornery face at the
ceiling fan.)
(Loud, whiny voice.)
"HUMPTY-DUMPTY!
Ya KNOW what
they SAID about HIM!"

"Tell Me,
Mein kin'der."

(Sigh.)
"ALL the king's
horses...and,
ALL the king's men..
couldn't put Humpty-
Dumpty...
back together,
AGAIN!"

[NOD.]
"True, child."
[PAUSE.]
"But."

(Woeful glance.)
"But, WHAT, Lord?"

"Perhaps
the
King
can."
************************
For
assuredly,
I say to you,
whoever says
to this mountain,
'Be removed and
be cast into
the sea.'
and does not doubt
in his heart,
but believes...
he will have whatever
he says.
[Mark 11:23
