The Smart Guys and Me

Semi-daily preaching by a Semi-daily Preacher on a semi-daily basis

I don’t wanna sound all braggy but, facts is facts…I destroyed the Bible Scholars last night with my superior preaching.  They never saw it comin’.

Of course, I ALSO simultaneously got myself dis-fellowshipped from about 9 different denominations, while tickin’ off about a hundred big brained Bible guys and their wives but…these things happen. 

Francis Collins, the human genome/world famous scientist guy was there.  We chatted afterwards for a while and found that we have lots in common.  Apparently, he discovered the human genome a while ago.  I told him that I have also found stuff…usually in the backyard or my closet. I think he was impressed, though he seemed a bit skittish to see me.  He probably thought I was gonna try to baptize him right there on the spot.  Don’t laugh.  I thought about it.  He probably noticed the “Pre-baptize Glaze” I get in my eye right before I dunk somebody.  He’s a scientist, they notice that kind of stuff.

Anyhow, it occurred to me this morning that Francis will no doubt be bringing  my name up the next time he meets with Bill Gates or  President Obama. 

That’s just gonna KILL Joel Olsteen.  Oh, well.   

Making my way back home today.  There’s a pile of mail to sift through and a “Housewives of New Jersey” marathon on the DVR my wife Gidget has to catch up on, so have to get back. 

Meanwhile, I wanna personally thank all of the Blembers (blog-members) of this Blongregation (blog-congregaton) for your support during this missionary trip to California.  You weren’t a LOT of help (I did all the preachin’ and most of the drivin’), but it was still good to know you there to pray and fast. 

I HATE fasting while I’m on the road.  And I get too dizzy when I fast while I’m tryin’ to preach. Now that I think of it, I don’t think I EVER fast. 

Why? Because fasting stinks.  Thanks for doing it for me.  Now go have a donut.

I wonder if Francis Collins ever fasts? 

What I really wonder is if he has a microscope. Or a trampoline.

I’ll ask him next time we’re on a smart guy science panel in Washington together.

Can’t WAIT for that. I’ll preach those guys into the ground.

Joel Olsteen will wanna jump off a bridge.

As together we stand and sing.
