Bible Note: C.S.M. :: Most of us folks down here in the Ozarks ain't real impressed by middle-of-the-roaders. In the first place, a feller that walks down the middle of the road has got to be touched in the head, on account of it's a mighty dangerous place to walk, considering as how he's apt to get his block knocked off by some crazy driver. And second, if you're speaking of them folks that don't take no stand on nothing much, but kinda straddle in the middle of the road on ever question that comes along, too afeared to take a stand fer or agin something, well they ain't our kind of folks down here. They ain't got no backbone, and us folks down here in the hills looks up to a man whose got grit, but we shore don't have a heap of respect for what we call them spineless jellyfishes. So we don't think Jesus did any walking in the middle of the roads back there in Pallystein. He had a heap more sense than to get out there and get Hisself hit by a speeding chariot drove by the president of Jersusalem Bank and Trust Co. who was trying to make it to work on time. And Jesus warn't no middle-of-the-roader when it come to taking a stand on things either. A body always knows for sure where the Lord stands on things. He ain't no wishy-washy middle-of-the-roader, and that's the truth. So a body wanting to walk with Jesus has got to take a stand. He ain't gonna find Jesus out there in the middle of the road. --Hank |
