Psalms 127:3-5

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. 5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. (NIV)

3 Children are a gift from the Lord, a reward from God himself. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, children are full of the youth that we so desperately crave. 5 Blessed is he whose metaphorical quiver is packed with literal children. They shalt not be convicted by the highest courts of the law *hint hint*. (BBI) 

I suppose a much-needed disclaimer: I don’t support molestation in any form.

1 Peter 5:6-7

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (NIV)

6 Katelyn opened the large double doors and walked into the office. She glanced at God, but looked away quickly as she felt she was not worthy. Also, the light emitting from his face was blinding. Instead, Katelyn looked around the room at the high bookshelves, intricate stained glass windows, and therapist’s reclining chair.

“I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty nervous,” she said.

“Do not worry my child. Come,” God said as he pointed her in the direction of the chair. Upon his beckoning, Katelyn walked to the chair and sat in it. She felt comfortable in his holy light and began casting her anxieties onto him.

7 “I just don’t know, God. Sometimes, I just feel like I’m not getting as much out of life as I put in.” Katelyn paused as God scribbled something down on a legal pad. “And I’m not sure if it’s something I can control or not. It’s really tiring and affecting my self-esteem.”

“That’s certainly interesting. How do you feel it’s impacting your life?” God said with compassion.

“I work out and everything, but I hate the way my knees look. Look at my them!”

“Yeah, I’m looking at them. I made them. What’s the problem?”

“Someone said my knees look like Al Pacino and Chevy Chase’s lovechild!”

“Oh, Jerry? Yeah, he’s an asshole. Don’t worry about him. I’ll take care of him.”

“Wait, how did you–?”

“I know everything. Go on, what else troubles you, my child?”

“My anxiety has me feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. When I go to the shower, I cover my private parts, even though I know no one else is there. Is that weird?”

“Well, God does see everything.”

“Excuse me?”

“Nothing. Anything else?”

“Well, there is one more thing,” Kaitlyn hesitated for a moment and then found the strength to continue. “I’ve…I’ve been such a mess lately that I’ve gone back to gambling. It started with slot machines, but it wasn’t good enough. I started playing blackjack. And I won a few hands, and it felt good. But then I lost my wedding ring, so I had to win it back. So then I bet my daughter’s college fund. I didn’t think I had another choice. I still haven’t told my husband. I told him I lost my ring while at the gym. What do I do? Oh God, what do I do?!”

“Hmm, that is tough. All right, 10 Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys, and you should be good. NEXT!” (BBI)

1 Corinthians 30:18-19

18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” (NIV)

18 Idiocy is brilliance. Intelligence is stupid. Logic is nonsense. 19 Everything you know is a lie, for I, your God, do not recognize your wisdom. For I am the only one who can be wise. I am omniscient, and all of the knowledge is mine. You shall forever pay for eating my special fruit. For it is written: “Schools, books, and smartphones are sin, and all those who partake shall be smitten.” (BBI)

Joel 2:12-14

12 “Even now,” declares the Lord,
    “return to me with all your heart,
    with fasting and weeping and mourning.”

13 Rend your heart
    and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
    for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
    and he relents from sending calamity.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent
    and leave behind a blessing—
grain offerings and drink offerings
    for the Lord your God. (NIV)

12 The Lord proclaimed from the sky,
    “Return to me with all your heart,
    by not eating food, crying, and devastation.”

13 Give up your heart, your literal heart, up to me.
    Pull it directly out of your chest, but don’t take off your garments,
    for you know I get squeamish about nudity.
Return to the Lord, your God,
    for He is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger, despite drowning the entire world once,
abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.
He also is the humblest to ever exist,
extremely good looking, and godlike in the sack.
14 Return to the Lord! Who knows?
He may turn and leave behind a blessing—
if you give up offerings of grain and drink
    to the Lord your God. (BBI)

Matthew 6:22

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (KJV)

22 If you remove one of your eyes in a bloody, gouging mess your body shall be filled with the light of God. Tear that little white eyeball from the eye socket in the name of God! #Jesus (BBI)
