I'm using the following in an upcoming radio devotion but thought I'd share it with you now...good for a laugh!
Remember the 2000 Year Old Man comedy routine that Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks did so many years ago? During one of the routines, Reiner asked the old man, "Did you always believe in the Lord?"
Brooks replied, "No. We had a guy in our village named Phil and for a time we worshipped him."
Reiner asked, "You worshipped a guy named Phil? Why?" Brooks responded, "Because he was big and mean and he could break you in two with his bare hands!"
Reiner went on, "Did you have prayers?" Brooks answered, "Yes, would you like to hear one? O Phil, please don't be mean or hurt us or break us in two with your bare hands. Amen."
Reiner went on to ask, "So when did you start worshipping the Lord?" Brooks, as the 2000 Year Old Man, explained it like this: "Well, one day a big thunderstorm came up, and a lightening bolt hit Phil. We gathered around and saw that he was dead. Then we said to one another, "There's something bigger than Phil!"
