Isn't that in the Bible?
I like Ben Franklin. He invented about 19 million things and had interesting hair and kind of funny glasses and helped put America on the map. But every now and then, someone will mistakenly quote something he said as if it were from the Bible. The most famous one of course is:
"God helps those that help themselves."
I swear, some people will tell you that is hidden somewhere in the Old Testament. It's not. It's from the 1757 edition of Poor Richard's Farmer's Almanac. But is sounds kind of like something you would find in the Bible. It's kind of holy and gives you the freedom to take the things you want instead of all that waiting on God silliness.
So I thought it might be fun to add my own Ben Franklin-type fake Bible verses, which is yet one more reason I will be struck by lightning at some point. Here they are:
1. God is also a fan of my favorite sports team and wants them to win.
2. God's favorite sport is Basketball.
3. Blessed are those who are sarcastic.
4. Blessed are those who wear Puma sneakers.
5. God smiles most on those who make other people laugh and smile.
6. God loves hot wings even more than I do.
7. Mexican cheese dip is a sign that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
8. God is really hoping Lenny Kravitz comes around so that heaven will rock even harder.
9. Even God was surprised a little by the platypus.
10. In heaven, everyone will travel by waterslide.
Those are mine, but please, by all means, feel free to add your own. That is exactly what Fridays are for.
