So this morning’s meeting was pretty spicy!

The meeting started with some decorous fellows accusing The Boss of being satanic. The Boss was having one of it! The Boss said, “I’m not satanic, you polished, courtly, well-bred fellows are satanic! I’m here to harass Satan! Which means, I’m here to harass you guys, because you’re Satan’s babies!

A ‘superficial smooth things over’ woman chimed in saying, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” But The Boss said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the Word of God and keep it!”

Then The Boss said, “This generation is an evil generation! …And that’s precisely why I’m here! I’m here to help evil people! I’m here to kill any ‘joy’ that isn’t rooted in repentance. I will not endorse or endure your superficial approach to joy. I’m here to work with you for REAL JOY! I’m here to compel you to enter and experience MY JOY ON MY TERMS!”

The genteel, sanctimonious, peoples were aghast that The Boss did not adhere to their system of decency and decorum! They were appalled that The Boss was so flagrantly aiming to kill their time honored traditions!

And there was no getting around it… The Boss was DEFINITELY destroying their version of ‘happiness’ and ‘holiness’! In response to their accusations of Him, and in reply to their dismay at His undomesticated and indecorous methodology, The Boss said, “Y’all clean up nice on the outside, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Woe to you! You pretend to be pious and reverent, but you neglect the love and joy of God. You’re obsessed with your reputation and status, and it’s killing you! You are like unmarked graves.”

One of the decorous fellows said, “In saying these things you insult us!”

The Boss didn’t let-up… He said, “You load people with burdens that crush them! Woe to you! You are oppressive and dispiriting! You yourselves refuse to enter and experience real joy, and you hinder others from entering and experiencing real joy.”

Like I said, it was a spicy meeting!
