Pastoral letter #160

[tfad...@aol.com]

With a rather poor memory now and about a third of my math skills
completely forgotten, I scored in the 99th percentile on a recent
practice A.C.T. college entrance examination.

Anybody can have sex but it takes a prince or a princess - a Christian
- to make love, especially out of nothing at all. Houses and wealth
come from parents generally but that perfect spouse comes only from
the Lord Jesus Christ.

Indeed, life is a game, it's the Almighty's, and it is one of
vengence, wrath, and holy retribution and the Bible is the only book
that contains the rules. Those who hate wisdom love death and this is
wisdom: Obey every word of the Holy book down to the last detail.

God, the creator, pre-exists time. As such it is always important to
respect elders. Notwithstanding this fact it is only the babies that
matter both because they are the least in the Kingdom of God and
because they are the future. The only advice you ever have to give
them is to never take advice from somebody that isn't at least as
smart if not smarter than themselves.

In about a hundred years or perhaps a lot sooner it will be obvious
why I, the first Black captain of a White athletic team in world
history, am a Christian and what obviously must be true about one of
us.

Sincerely,
