The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 05, 2022

Hey Jesus, change it back, ok?

Take 12 steps out the door.

Excuse me pal. We’re the Gallo brothers and we tasted your stuff and we’re pretty sure you stole our patented recipe. Judas over there has seen you hanging around our barrels.

“I don’t care who your father is. Stop walking on the water! You’re scaring the fish.”

The founding of “Winos for Jesus.”

Water into wine. Wine into Coffee.

His cup runneth over…and over, and…

That Jesus always was a bad boy.

It’s a test…

At an AA meeting, he would more likely turn coffee into wine.

Okay, I’ll change into coffee.

“I’m goin’, I’m goin’ where the water tastes like wine.

I’m goin’ where the water tastes like wine.

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time…."

Canned Heat, “Goin’ up the country”

Read the original account. Jesus was a guest at a wedding and was asked if he could help when their wine ran out. Don’t twist Jesus into someone bad. For one day’s laugh, it’s not worth it.

The BATF is going to come after you for failure to pay the alcohol tax.

Well, it is healthier than the sewer water that comes out of the well. Besides, Peter, the fisher of men, says rum is even better.

Now, THAT’S what I call a HIGHER power.

Back then, everyone was an alcoholic. Better that than being dead from having drank bad water.

I had a rabbi tell me that the water into wine miracle at the wedding in Canan demonstrated the truth that a Jewish mother could even tell God what to do.

Just this morning, I was thinking about how that was one of the few miracles in the Bible that provided a remarkably minor favor. The other one I know of is in 2 Kings, when Elisha helped someone recover a lost axe head from a river by making it float.

Came to see if anyone had a comment about whoops!

NOPE.

Sometimes we vin and bear it.

Wine is man made and like everything else man made it can be used for good or for bad, that is why it is called free will.

I knew this was going to happen.

Jesus!

Actually, turning water into alcoholic beverages is something that happens in every brewery, distillery, and winery on Earth all the time!
