An Amazingly Ungraceful Friday

Sometimes you just want to get the week over with, especially while things are going ok. Quit while you’re ahead I always say. Its not a bad thing. However, I don’t get such a luxury. In my office, Friday afternoons are ripe for the pickins, dressed up with a variety of nuts, weirdos and whackadoodles. They just wander in, no appointments and want to be seen right away.

Over the years of doing what I do its become something to expect. Today we had another lulu!

These two 400 lb ladies come in, with a little kid maybe 8 yrs old and weighing about 200 lbs. They want to be seen right away and also want me to see them before others who have appointments. Luckily it hadn’t been too bad and we got the one who needed too be seen in. The three of them were brought into a room, and they filled it rather quickly with size and smell. Bathing obviously wasn’t high on their list.

They spent a few minutes to lecture me on how the world hasn’t learned to make rooms or devices for fat people and how we should all be ashamed of ourselves. I love it when people feel the world needs to conform to them and not that they should help themselves get healthy.

Suddenly out of no where one of their cell phones goes off playing “Amazing Grace”. The lady looked at her cell phone and “DAMMIT! WHAT THE F**K DOES HE WANT..I’M SICK OF HIS G*D DAMN SH*T.”

I couldn’t help thinking while this tender Hymn was playing, this woman was cursing openly and using the name of the Lord in vane! She looks at me and said, “Its my G*D damn husband.”

I look at her and think, “Its married? There’s more than one stupid bastard on this planet I guess.”

She sighs and says, “Probably wants me to pick something up at that fu*kin’ church!”

I left the room and thought to myself, “Ahh Christianity.”

After awhile I got to thinking if I was Jesus and saw who is following Him these days, I think I would’ve demanded at lawyer at my trial.

Thankfully spirituality isn't for the perfect or we'd all be screwed!

Oops..did I say that?

Sorry to hear you had a bad day on Friday, Dave. One would think Fridays would be the best day of the week but that isn't always the case. I'm sure you're just glad it ended and that the cleaning crew would be in over the weekend.

One thing that bugs me is when so-called Christian people act in obvious un-Christian ways. I've seen a lot of it over the years in churches, on TV, in the papers. It disgusts me.

I realize no one is perfect but people shouldn't advertise their Christianity if they don't intend to at least keep up the image.

I'm almost hoping she merely liked the melody of that song a lot.
