Abby: So I hear you're writing for the church bulletin.
Nim: Yep!
Nim: I've found my true calling. I'm going to rip the lid off corruption, take on the special interests and invoke fear at the very mention of my name.
Abby: Mmm, hmm. And what did you write about the church picnic?
Nim: Pish, posh! Noboddy cares about that trifle.
Abby: I care!
Nim: No, you just THINK you do. My job is to tell you what you SHOULD care about.
Nim: I've started writing for the church newsletter.
Con: That's great!
Nim: Yeah, and I'm not going to just write fluff-pieces either. I'm going to be a hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners, investigative journalist.
Nim: I'm going to use the time-honored tools of baseless accusations, innuendo and fear to whip my readers into a fury! Now I just need a juicy subject for my first Pulitzer Prize-winning story!
Con: I don't know if...
Nim: I've got it! Wednesday Night Suppers: What Are You REALLY Eating?!!!
“We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!” – Luke 15 (The Parable of the Prodigal Son)
Con: The father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet."
Con: "Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate for this son of mine was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found."
Even if you have to lose more than 75 pounds, a local church can probably help you with a diet plan that works in conjunction with your faith for better success.
You can look for hidden treasure your entire life and end up missing the real treasure that’s found through faith in Jesus Christ. Read your Bible today!
Con: Have you been going to the diet classes at church?
Nim: Yep, for about a week.
Con: Well, I can tell it's working.
Nim: REALLY??!!!
Nim: I must look fantastic!!! I knew the diet was working, but I had no idea you'd see such a big difference in so short a time. Look at you, you can't keep your eyes off me! I must really be fabulous!
Con: A little compliment goes a long way with Nim.
Nim: Who's got a camera? Someon needs to get a picture of me...quick!
