Jesus Sucks at Math

I was trackting out some houses yesterday when i came across an old man in his house wearing nothing but his white underpants. He saw me and my comp, looked us up and down, then shouted at us, "come in and close the f'n door'.

To which I said, "ok!"

I was so excited because we had been knocking on doors all day, and no one had let us in and we were freezing!!!

Anyway, Grunald, that's the old guy's name sat us down and before we could say anything, he started to tell us about the rest of the story. I said, "Grunald, what is the rest of the story that you keep talking about?"

Then he told me.

"You see, Elders, you haven't heard about the rest of the story with Jesus' first job. Jesus was a sheppard, but he really, really, really sucked at math. In the olden days, before they had math, the sheppards would get dizzy trying to keep track of their flocks.

So one day, Jesus was walking and tending his sheep, the sheep would go, baaa, baaa!!! and that would drive Jesus crazy. Anyway, Jesus counted all his sheep that he was sheeping, 100. He was responsible for 100 sheep. That's the way they did it in those days.

Jesus noticed that on this day, there were only 99 sheep. 1 sheep was missing. Jesus did not know what to do. Should he go and look for the 1 sheep? Or should he make sure the 99 are safe? He did not know what to do.

That's when the story takes a turn for the worst. Jesus, because he sucked at math, decided to go and get the 1 sheep. He left the other 99 to die without him, because they surely would be eaten by the hungry sheep eaters across the way.

Jesus tried to count, he tried and tried, and every time he tried, he came up with 1 being a bigger number than 99. So he left to get the 1. He was gone the whole day trying to get the 1. When he came back, the other 99 were dead. Most of the sheep had been eaten, or run oft.

Then Jesus looked up and down and said, "I am not a very good sheppard at all".

He was fired that very day, and he had to beg for his bread for the rest of his life. He would go to town to town to town begging for bread and telling people tales so they would give him bread.

That's the rest of the story."

I then asked him if he wanted to get baptised. He said no, and I said ok.

  1. I'd like to bear my testimony.
    I know that Jesus Lives.
    I've seen him, above the rafters in our barn.
    He makes funny sounds and jumps from corner to dark corner.

    "Jib Jab Jo. Jib Jab Jo!"
    That's what he keeps repeating.

    I Love Jesus, cause I know he's true, so, so true. Like small pumpkin seeds that sprout into large pumpkins and then there's more seeds and more pumpkins.

    Amen.

  2. Thanks for writing, Samantha!!!

    "I've seen him, above the rafters in our barn.

    Um, Sam (short for Samantha), I don't think that is Jesus Christ. You see, Sam, Jesus doesn't live in a barn, he lives in Bethlehem in the middle of the east. From there, he instructs prophets on how to run the church, usually via live satellite feed.

    Which book should we read for Sunday School class? Jesus knows. Which is the best color for my trousers? Jesus knows that one, too. Which program should we start in primary? Again, Jesus knows.

    You see how he runs everything? Always telling us what to do in the little details? That's Jesus for you. He's like big brother; he's done so much for us...

    Jesus might be in your barn, but then how could he also be in Bethlehem with the sheep and lion? Obviously only one of us can be correct, and I know it's me, because when I do what I'm told, they tell me I'm going to get my hug with Jesus any day now. Any day.

    Pray for me,
