Nice try here. I've been a born again Christian and a Baptist for a very long time. I just don't see this playing into reality, so I give you credit for satire. I miss the days when Johnny Carson new comedy was about poking fun at all of us, without the self-righteous fervor of the woke mob. God holds the heart of the king in his hands, even Trump. Keep Calm and vote. LOL

Amen, brother! Thanks for reading, Terry.
Comment from Carol Clark2
This political parody is great! It's humorous but honest. Apparently Pastor Jim has been following Trump's trials rather closely. He picked great sermon texts. Yes, we do seem to be in a bit of a mess here in the USA at the present. I'd like to preach on 2 Chronicles 7:14! Well done, Terry!

Carol, thank you for the six stars! I am delighted you enjoyed the story. Your 2 Chronicles verse is a good choice. Brother Jim could do that, too. Terry.

You're welcome. I enjoyed your parody. Have a blessed rest of the week.
Comment from Jasmine Girl
We are still involved in wars in places that are far away from us. We rejected peace talks and negotiations in Ukraine and Gaza. So Uncle Joe is not evil?

Thank for reading, excellent question. Terry.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You are such a talented writer you can even find humor in this mess we are in. I totally agree with Mildred! So, what can we do about it? I love the line about Harambe and The Donald's sleight of hand when the plate was passed. How about you run for president? You could bring us some comic relief every day.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Excellent piece of writing here. I am often hesitant to get political but I feel comfortable enough to agree wholehearedly with your sentiment. "You will know them by their fruits." And I, for one, would rather vote for an overripe fruit that still has lots of sweetness left to it than a bruised piece of fruit consisting of nothing but rot. Getting off my soap box now. Thanks for sharing. Good job.

Marilyn, I do get your point. Thar is exactly what I did last time, but this is even messier. Thanks for reading. Terry.
Comment from Faith Williams
Well, Terry, I wasn't exactly sure whether to laugh or cry. The truth expressed in your satirical piece is brilliantly told all the way down to referencing him as 'The Donald'. How indeed do we get out of our mess? I'm not entirely sure, but here's to hoping.
One suggestion to consider:
"No, I would take my text from 2 Timothy 4, 6." If you are referring to a specific verse, it is usually written, 2 Timothy 4:6. As it is currently written, it refers to chapters 4 and 6.
Again, a great piece, Terry. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Faith, thank for the six stars and the excellent suggestion. I didn't think that looked right when I wrote it. Terry.
Comment from royowen
A very clever and tongue in cheek commentary, but yet no opinions proffered, I have zilch's opinions about politics, some things, (or most things) I delegate to God, He has a 360 deg view, mine is confined to my next meal, and allowing God to rule, He's better at it than me, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Roy, thank you very much for reading. Terry.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
The pastor has done his research": ""Three marriages, assorted affairs, hush money cover-up, six bankruptcies, four thousand legal business cases, one hundred tax cases, convicted of sexual assault with the judgment of over eighty million dollars. Convicted of fraud and fined three hundred thirty-five million dollars, and more cases are yet to come." much of this was a tragicomedy very well written and handled.

Comment from Ric Myworld
I don't know that I've ever read more truths in satire fiction. It reminds me more of a billboard blast to wake up the dead, dumb, sleeping, or lost in a fog. LOL. Maybe we should get us two 20-gallon hats and electronic megaphones to walk the streets. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Good morning, Terry,
A well-crafted parody, that I much enjoyed, but after the funeral debacle a few weeks ago, I hope Jesus isn't calling "collect."
Favorite paragraph:
A would-be voter said, "All I know is that Harambe is a man who lives in Cincinnati, likes the zoo, and is not The Donald or Uncle Joe. That's good enough for me."
Harambe has my vote... I may even throw in a caramel apple... or pie...
Thanks for sharing!
Onward!
