Ahhh yes, the woman who named her child Mahershalalhasbhbaz while she was in labor pain (I guess). His named was later shortened in the year 2003 to Max. :) In Christ, Darcy |

Good morning, Darcy -- Years ago I had a thin little volume called "The Humor of Christ." In no way sacreligious or scurrilous, it pointed out certain incidents in Christ's discourses in which the author saw in our Lord a genuine sense of wholesome humor. I have no idea what happened to that fine little volume and wish I did, because I'd like to read it again. Your reference to the young Jewish mother who named her child Mahershalalhashbaz while she was in labor pains brought to mind for some reason the little volume on Christ's sense of humor. The mother must have had a certain sense of humor to name her child Mahershalalhashbaz -- that, or her labor pains were particularly severe. In either case, a sense of humor would have helped the child go through life bearing the name Mahershalalhashbaz. By the time guests at his home were able to pronounce his name in full it would have been time for them to leave. --Hank | ||||||

Good evening, Hank- I thini one of the humor parts I kind of get a kick out of is when When the LORD pretty much told about Ishmael when Sarah was trying to get rid of Hagar and Ishmael. The LORD said (Paraphasing) You listened to your wife the first time and you got into this mess now listen to her again. And The story of Gideon in Judges, The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior." I can picture Gidoen looking around and say "Who me" |
