Sermon on Cincinnati

   
   "Sermon on Cincinnati"
   
   Deacon Jones knew that man lived not on bread alone, but on every Word breathed from the Mouth of God; moreover, his personal pedagogue was the Holy Spirit Itself.  As a Protestant, he still talked to the angels and saints; regardless, was humble and rebellious to rebellion itself.  So, standing before the crowd of the church, in front of a live-action microphone, instead of preaching on praise--he made a joyful noise unto the Lord, God-smacking the church into hearing--him singing:

Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati WKRP!
Got tired of packing and unpacking,
Town to town and up and down the dial--
I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati!!!

  Then, Deacon Jones calmly quoted Christ to the astonished church crowd:  "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote of thy brother's eye."

   If Deacon Jones was allowed--he would've been proud of himself, but nope--he was only proud of God.
