Six Sentence Story: Perfect Vision

During the regular part of the Sunday service when Brian satirized critics of his ministry, he read, out-loud, a social media post which commanded that the eyes of everyone in his congregation start functioning with “20/20, cataract-less, floater-less, astigmatism-less, whatever-ails-you-less perfect vision”.

“Fat chance that’s going to happen,” Brian mocked just before his six-year old granddaughter sitting in the front row, nearly blind from birth, jumped up and down screaming, “Grandpops, Grandpops, I can SEE!!“

As others in the congregation admitted sudden vision improvement as well, Brian wondered if his own eyes had been healed (hoping not). Looking down at his Bible, a ministry-produced, three-ribboned, leather-bound, authorized version adulterated with his commentaries, he was surprised to clearly make out even the fine print of the footnotes without glasses.

For the next hour Brian read verse after verse. When he finally looked up, all that came out of his mouth was: “So that’s what it says.”

    1. I voted for Trump, three times in fact: 2016, 2020, 2024

      However, deception is not only outside the Church, but it is also within it. That has been the case since the first century.

      There are a lot of people, both within and outside Christianity who need to see things with better vision.

      Blessings, Violet!
