Help Wanted Ad No.1
From an ancient source...
Wanted: Jewish preacher seeks twelve men for religious work with lepers, fallen women, Samaritans, the poor and possessed. Ability to fish, tend sheep and understand the tax codes an asset. Must reside in the Galilee area and be willing to travel for extended periods. Pay to be discussed at a later date. Education and class not important. No Pharisees or smokers please.
* Note, this is based on an old idea I had for many years, but I never found a reason to post it. Hope it at least gets a smile...

Children of the Summer
It was an unforgiving one hundred and four Fahrenheit in the valley that day. No breeze drifted down from the mountains to the arid stretch of desert where we had all gathered. The high-noon sun loomed overhead, heating the red sand beneath my thin leather soles. Devil’s Valley. I never thought I would be there, and I never would have had my baby there -- if there was any other way.

So, in essence, you are looking for Jesus. Really, keep your head down. Lightning, brimstone and fire coming at ya.
Smart short and snappy - just what we need!
Smokers For Jesus aren't gonna like this one, keep your head down Kendall! 🤣
You got a smile for both the ad & the picture. My wife likes to say, "Church is great. It's the people who cause the problems." (And she still loves every single last one of them, including apparently me.) That having been said, Nicodemus & Joseph of Arimathea were both Pharisees & were welcomed/recognized as part of the tribe. Just thought I'd let you know.
