Sometimes you hear the strangest
things in church.
We went to church one Sunday and the priest gave his homily. He is an Indian gentleman (from India, not Native American) who seems to lose the meaning of things when translating his words of wisdom. This guy is usually a rambler and has perfected the art of going off on a tangent when speaking in public. Needless to say, if he’s running the show we’re guaranteed for thirty to forty-five minutes of non-linear nonsense. My mind usually wonders off pretty quickly and I definitely don’t pay as much attention as I should. My mind checked out at light speed this particular Sunday then WHOA NELLY! Hold on partners, what did he just say? He headed off on another tangent and the following statement flew out of his mouth: “The man knocking on a prostitute’s door is really looking for God. He is looking to fill the God hole.” “What? What did you just say? Oh no you didn’t! Did he really say that?” I agree the dude doing the knocking is looking to fill a hole but God is definitely not involved. He may be looking for a religious experience but not for the man upstairs. He had the right intent, I agree with that, but the delivery was just a little off. Then again, maybe God lives in Amsterdam? There are a lot of people looking for him there. The Red Light District seems to be a popular place. So maybe my mind is just permanently in the gutter. Maybe I’m still mentally thirteen. Either way, it’s still funny and is something you don’t hear in church every day.
