Rev Bill

James Watkins always finds a way to make me laugh! A regular contributor to REV! Magazine (which has been one of my favorites for practical ideas for several years — but will not be published any more — a decision that I am not happy about!) James always comes up with commentary on real events — or things that could happen — that amuse me and sometimes even make me think.

In this month’s edition of REV! (the final edition — did I mention I am not happy about that???) he comes up with a new version of the Bible — The Twitter Bible. Some of the “tweets” include:

Feeling really bad. Must have been something we ate. Adam and Eve

I don’t think my brother likes me. Abel

The romantic cruise my husband promised turned out to be a real zoo. Mrs. Noah

We’ll be moving. No forwarding address at this time. Abraham

You can read all the “tweets” here. Maybe you’d like to add one yourself!

Now — I have to put this on Sessmic so I can have a clean post without the annoying #fb thing.
