IF I WERE JUDGE
If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice» (2 Samuel 15:4).
These words, spoken by I-want-to-be-king-of-the-world Absalom, echo the hidden desire of a lot of adults and juniors. Here’s what I would do if appointed judge in the land.
- I’d make all divorced parents of junior-age kids get back together. OK, so one of them did something really stupid. Hey, don’t we all? Let’s show a little forgiveness out there! If physical or sexual abuse was involved, I’d toss ‘emin jail so fast that their sunglasses would still be hanging in midair.
- I’d make all public schools teach «Bible» science along with evolution. Let students decide whether they came from river slime or from God’s hand.
- I’d make Moose Tracks the official ice cream of the world (that’s vanilla with mini Reese’s Pieces in it—yum!).
- I’d ban drum kits from church services. If you want to rock and roll, go on a nature hike. God isn’t impressed with noise or swaying bodies. He’d much rather listen to the joyful praise generated by a life in tune with His will.
- I’d make all pastors take one full day and one-half day off each week. No phones, no committee meetings, no visits. They’ve got a life and need to live it.
- I’d insist that all juniors spend two minutes each day reading something spiritual. Oh yeah, you’re reading this book. One down, five to go!
