Wouldn’t you know it! With only 200 comments to go to the legendary (come on, be patient–how often do I get to use that word?) 40,000-comment milestone… we’ve got a problem with the prize.
The company that would normally manage the winner’s metamorphosis into a rodent has been sued by another party for allegedly turning someone into a potted cactus instead of a gerbil, as requested. Pending the outcome of the lawsuit, they have suspended all current business. “You can’t have much of a conversation with a cactus,” complains the plaintiff. So with a gerbil you can?
Anyway, the lucky reader who posts Comment No. 40,000, instead of being transformed into a rodent, will instead receive an autographed copy of my new book, The Temptation, when it’s published, which should be pretty soon.
The management apologizes for whatever unbearable disappointment has been caused by this change in plan.
Funny, after reading this I kinda felt a certain vibration within my body… uh-oh, my fingers are not stable, tttheyy’rre shakking… aand, and am i getttting smaller? It’sss all I can ddo to ppost this cocococommmentt!! HELP… AAAAAHHH!
Well, I finally reached the keyboard .Ok, now let me get this straight… now I’m a rodent.
Phew! A good night’s sleep has done the trick. I’m back to normal again. I just hope this doesn’t happen again during the English classes… I don’t know why this happened in the first place… it all happened when I looked upon the picture of the cactus… and my brother was looking along with me, unfortunately. As for him, he’s still a cactus. 😊🌵✨
And I became a cactus. Sad. Now I can’t move my hands and fingers anymore! 😐
What is wrong with the cactus? The 3 segments can represent the Trinity; the thorns could represent the crown made for Jesus’ crucifixion; the green color could represent new life in Christ; and maybe a flame could appear to consume it, even though it doesn’t, and the voice of God could speak from it giving directions. All this imagery could be used in a Karl Barth sermon.
I guess you’re right. Now I’m glad I became a cactus! 😁
Wow it must be less than that now (sorry I”m so behind on my reader of blogs!)
I won’t be too surprised if tomorrow sees the winner. So everybody–you gotta be in it to win it!
OK! (Here’s another comment)
