All right, everyone gather ’round. It’s time for a Bible story.
This one time, in the Bible, like, Old Testament times (probably like after Moses or something, but before Jesus.) there was this guy named Elisha. And he was going up a mountain or something and these teenagers come up to him and start making fun of him. They’re all like, “Hey guy with the bald head! HAHAHAHA!”
Teenagers, amirite? I mean, they’re not even clever. That insult is so lazy.
So then Elisha is all pissed and curses these kids in the name of the Lord. Which seems kinda strong to me, but whatevs, this is Old Testament, before my time. SO THEN all of a SUDDEN these two bears come outta nowhere and kill all these jerk teenagers! (This was in 2 Kings, by the way.)
So the lesson here, I think, is that I don’t want to take any kind of glory away from the birth of Jesus, but can we all agree that this should be considered Second Greatest Story Ever Told?
Right? Guys?
Where did everyone go?

Zach’s dad used to always teach this story to the kids in Sunday School at the church where Zach went as a kid. Well, this one & the one about the talking donkey. (3rd greatest story?)
That is definitely the Third Greatest Story!
There is one story I read in Judges, I think? This woman kills this man (but she’s like, doing people a favor) and how she does it is, she asks him into her tent. She’s like “You wanna glass a milk?” and he’s all “Sure” and BAM TENT PEG IN THE SKULL BONE.
The first time I read that I was like “Whoa, now that would’ve kept me interested in Sunday School.”
Tent Peg in the Skull Bone is my new album of remixed dance mixes that were remixed once before.
It poses and interesting theological question, does what a prophet says come true because he/she is a prophet or does the prophet just see what is going to happen and tell us about it?
Is Balaams Ass just a story to let us know how the gift of prophecy works?
As far as the tent peg, that’s what I call a splitting headache.
PS – My youth group loves these stories.
I’ve never thought about it that way before, John. I guess I always assumed the prophets were told about the future somehow and they reported back to the regulars.
As for the “splitting headache” pun, ouch. heh.
