    When do we get to hear his sermon?

    Perhaps Upton belongs in jail, but she belongs with me. Let me make a good woman out of her…

    Actually she’s not really bad, she’s just drawn that way.

    Yes, be yourself. Except put on some decent clothes (though that outfit might help increase the collection)!

    There are people who have said that the building would collapse if they went to a church service. Of course, if the building fell down, it would not even be their fault.

    Legally speaking and in real life, they would be criminals; but, if the both of them accepted Jesus, spiritually speaking it would be as though they never stole anything at all.

    If Upton chooses the 3rd chapter of John as his sermon text, he might end up preaching salvation for his own self.

    serenasakitty, you have to attend his church. Good luck getting there….

    I tried acting like myself in church but no one believed it was me, so I hopped out of it.

    I wonder who will change first. Maybe Upton, because he gets it. The woman does not.

    Where I go to church at our Minister is speaking from book of Mark. And special events did not naturally go with Mark. But he explains real well. I wonder if Upton will do the same; although he is not ordain and I would not want him to baptise me.

    She better not be herself, she’s supposed to be the reverend’s wife! She better go get herself a modest dress to put on.

    Completely dull and boring

    I hope Upton bases his sermon on Exodus 35:2 where it says, “Whosoever doeth any work on the Sabbath shall surely be put to death.” My neighbor works at his job on the Sabbath in spite of repeated warnings from me. I tried stoning him to death with rocks from his rock garden and the crazy fool called the cops! I tried to explain to them that they were violating the Sabbath laws too but they wouldn’t listen…so I used the rocks on the cops too. Can you believe it? Try to show people the error of their ways and look what you get!

    I bonded out of jail but my question for Reverend Upton is: Should I just shoot this guy and get it over with since the biblical way of stoning didn’t work? After all, it’s for his own good. Besides, it takes a good size crowd to do a proper stoning. If it’s just one-on-one the stonee has too much wiggle room to avoid the rock throws.

    Darn! All this time I was hoping they would die in a meth-fueled shooting spree.

    Or at least a disfiguring ether explosion.

    Are there not lessons,laws of society to become aware of in this story;the ten commandments for one. I hope those who comment on dress design are clothiers themselves,the others may try to go to a church,mosque,temple themselves. Not only is it good for the soul yet they may meet someone too.

      I think Upton will preach a fine message, come to know Jesus as his Savior, and the real Reverend Peacegood will be sitting in the back row, waiting to expose a fraud, but will instead embrace him as a brother!

                     I think Upton will preach a fine message, come to know Jesus as his Savior, and the real Reverend Peacegood will walk in while Upton is confessing the wrong he has done!

    Hey Oop! Is that Caveman Jive talk?

    Upton should just say she was ill, it’ll probably save him alot of trouble later on.

    Many are called, but few are chosen (or, as a college classmate said to me one wintery day, “Many are cold, but few are frozen”).

    Just as I am, without one plea,
    But that Thy blood was shed for me,
    And that thou bidd’st me come to Thee,
    O Lamb of God, I Come!
    I Come!
