Nim: Our pastor asked us if we knew "our way home."
Nim: So I said, "Duh, not only do I know MY way home, but I know where YOU live too, Pastor. In fact, I'm quite fond of that fire hydrant in your front yard."
Amos: Oh, Nim. You didn't!
Nim: Yep, I did.
Nim: Did you know a preacher's face turns purple before it turns red?
Amos: My church had six baptisms this past Sunday.
Con: That's awesome! You know, every time my church goes through one of our rituals, I can actually feel my relationship with God grow. It strengthens my faith and helps me to become an active part of the "Body of Christ."
Con: How did the baptisms make you feel, Amos?
Amos: Hungry! We were 30 minutes late getting out of church!
Amos: I'm worried about where my next meal will come from.
Con: That's silly. Your master will always feed you.
Con: Besides, Matthew 6:26 says, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Amos: I didn't hear anything about Eukanuba in that verse.
