David Orendorff        John 1:35-51        January 15, 2012
There is a joke that has made the rounds in several variations.  The thrust of the joke centers on God having an annoying answering machine which directs and prioritizes the calls; For English press 1, for Spanish press 2, for Louisiana Cajun press 3, for northern Setzhuan Mandarin press [...]]]></description>
