Potlucks and Christians go together like dirty socks and playgrounds. We all love to fellowship and eat! Or, is that eat and fellowship? But, this creates a problem-- there are things that you eat and see and experience at a potluck that are . . . unique to say the least! No doubt about it, potlucks can be stressful on the appetite and conversation! With this in mind, I present the late June early July 1998 Edition of the Heavenly Top Ten, which is:
“Top Ten Comments Overheard
At Any Potluck”
- Oh, what an interesting texture!
- I didn't know there were that many shades of green!
- Oh, Fred, don't get worked up, she told you it was a new Band-Aid! Besides, you love potato salad!
- Trudy, your egg salad bust of the preacher is very, um, uh, er...creative!
- Jim, saying in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, doesn't excuse your double dipping!
- You say missionaries gave you this recipe?!
- What do you mean the dog wouldn't eat it?!
- I didn't think you could deep fry that!
- If Jell-O and vegetables were meant to exist together, Bill Cosby would have been a vegetarian!
- And the number one comment
hear at any potluck is: - Was that SUPPOSED to be crunchy?
The Heavenly Top Ten is intended to be a fun look at
issues of faith and fellowship. It should not be considered a serious treatment
of
any of the topics presented.
