It's August and summer is in full swing. Everybody and their dog is looking for some rest from the hectic and the heat, even the fabled Television Evangelist! Now you might get the idea from this list that I am slightly suspect of this noble profession. Yeah, I am, but I imagine that there are some sincere people in this field. If that is the case, I'm sure they will forgive my little bit of indulgence at their expense. With a slightly less than gentle shot at the subject, the August Edition of the Heavenly Top Ten is:
“Top Ten Summer Activities
Of Television Evangelists”
- Playing tag with the IRS!
- Attending the Aerobic Faith Healing Olympics!
- Ordaining new accountants!
- Visiting Jerusalem, Ohio, to fill vials with genuine Holy Land dirt for those who give a one time gift of $1,000 or more!
- Embarking on a missionary tour of the Betty Ford Clinic!
- Opening the Mansion on the Hill Top Golf and Country Club!
- Launching a new line of Heavenly Low Fat Salad Dressings. The first available flavor?--Celestial Ceaser!
- Visiting the Vatican with an eye to buy!
- Taking some extensive time in "Prayer and Fasting" (which, of course is the name of their yacht)!
- And the number one summer activity
of Television Evangelists is: - Ongoing surveillance of Tinkie Winkie!
The Heavenly Top Ten is intended to be a fun look at
issues of faith and fellowship. It should not be considered a serious treatment
of
any of the topics presented.
