An old priest lay dying in a Hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital.

He motioned for his nurse to come near.

“Yes, Father?” said the nurse.

“I would really like to see Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi before I die”, whispered the priest.

“I’ll see what I can do, Father,” replied the nurse. The nurse sent the request to them and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. Chuck and Nancy would be delighted to visit the priest

As they went to the hospital, Chuck commented to Nancy “I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images.” Nancy couldn’t help but agree.

When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Nancy‘s hand in his right hand and Chuck’s hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face. Finally Nancy spoke. “Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?”

The old priest slowly replied, “I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” The old priest continued... “He died between two lying thieves. I would like to do the same!"

- Kinda brings a smile to your face doesn’t it.....

I thought his wish was to take them with him.

Even if he did, they would have been separated soon enough.

One of the most comforting passages in Scripture:

“Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

“Amen I say to thee: this very day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.

And that's no joke, because

Who *doesn't* remember San Dimas? San Dimas is the place where historical characters come back to life! It must be time then. 2020 is the year of vision, the time for the song that will "save life as we know it."

What's the song?

~~Be Excellent to Each Other~~

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Hebrews 3:

7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

Everyone Bill and Ted rounded up were in agreement: they all loved San Dimas.

God's a funny Guy.
