Moments

I have been following the news in Iran lately.  My wife and I often discuss what happens when you try to bring democracy into a non-Christian nation, especially a Muslim country.  It just doesn’t seem to work.

Today Iran’s Supreme Leader finally spoke up.  Naturally, my mind started to wander after I heard his title – Supreme Leader.  I have now declared that as my new title.  The great thing about it is I don’t need a Congregational Meeting to bestow that title on me.  If I did, I wouldn’t be a very good Supreme  Leader.  I figure it is best just to declare that title.  So from now on, you may address me as, Supreme Leader.  My next step is to get some new business cards made.

Tim – would you please take care of getting a new name plate for my office door?  Sue – (and you can basically substitute any Sue here, Sue Whited, Sue Steege or Sue Brese) would you please refer to me by my new title while in public.  We all know who the real Supreme Leader is, and I bow to you Supreme”ness,” but out doctrine says only a man can hold the office of Supreme Leader.  So in public I would appreciate your cooperation.

In the mean time, I will consider a dress code for the Supreme Leader.  I do like turbans, but they are over done.  I am leaning toward Pope-like head dress.  I’ve always wanted one.  And until I decide on the right kind of robe, I will be wearing my bathrobe to church.

And my real name is more Supremish.  Supreme Leader Charles will be on my new cards.

Well, I think I have given this enough thought.  Feel free to share yours, just remember who you are addressing.

By the way, this is all pending Kathy Figini’s approval.
