SNS 107: Christ and Going Big
After our last conversation, it took Old Man Tom a few days to get back by the house. But as old as he is, his memory is tack sharp. Indeed, it was he who reminded me that he had wanted to follow up and share what our last conversation had inspired.
He started off by saying, “Good morning, Charles. Hey, have you heard the rumor about the butter?”
“The butter? No.”
“Oh, I’m not going to spread it.” Now, I may have grimaced just a little bit. Because he began to laugh even louder.
Once he stopped laughing, he said, “Do you remember how we left off our last conversation?”
“Oh, yeah. But I’m not going to spread it.”
Ok, that’s what I wish I had said. What I actually said was, “Um, you said that there was something that your thoughts on being perfect brought to mind. Correct?”
“You remember!”
I simply smiled; well, no sense in telling him just how barely I remembered. And then, I said, “Tom, come on in, brother, and I’ll put the coffee on.
Now, if you haven’t met Old Tom just yet, despite his being full of such ‘quaint’ jokes, he is a man with uncommon clarity of thought. You might say he is a man blessed with more common sense than many a drug store has pills. Also, as he is usually a man of few words, I find it is generally well worth the listen when he does say something. So, I was genuinely interested in hearing him out.
