Seeing Through Your Mind’s Eye...(Whatever That Is) | Eastern North Carolina Now

Can Your Mind’s Eye See What Mine Can?

ENCNow
    This Blog Posting is about making up Foolishness in my own head and seeing it crystal clear through my Mind's Eye. To enjoy the full impact of this bit of Foolishness you must be able to picture these images in your own Mind's Eye. If you can't picture images in your head, do not read any further.

    First, I must set the stage...

    •I am old fashioned.
    •I believe that we show respect for places we go by the way we dress and the reverse is true for places we don't respect.
    •To go to church on Sunday dressed like we just came out of the field after picking cotton or just back from toting that barge and lifting that bale is not proper.

    I understand that I have just lost a number of my dear readers because many of you are now mad at me for attacking the way you dress when you go to church. Oh well, I accept this because that's the way it is in the glaring spotlight of public opinion. I'm used to it.

    Those of you still with me, please read on.

    Since I am sure that God in heaven shares my dislike for Beach/Garden Wear in His Churches, here is what I find my mind's eye picturing as I sit there on Sunday watching my fellow parishioners walk up to communion in blue jeans, shorts and thongs...

    •All of a sudden all males wearing blue jeans, shorts and thongs are no longer attired in blue jeans, shorts and thongs but are in white boxer underwear, with the word "Alleluia" printed all over them and wearing very loud wooden Dutch shoes that are 3 sizes too big for their feet.

    •Since the Smartfella does not do risqué and picturing women in their underwear in his church would be risqué, I do not have the same picture of the females.

    •I picture the females walking up and all of a sudden there are flower pots on top of their heads with one large yellow daisy growing out of the pot and held onto their heads by an elastic strap tucked under their chins and, of course, the very loud wooden Dutch shoes that are 3 sizes too big for their feet.

    Ah yes, this just might be the greatest miracle since the Loaves and the Fishes!

    What is that you just said? You say you can't picture my pictures. Your Mind's Eye must be rusty from lack of use. That's a shame. An active and engaged Mind's Eye can be very entertaining.

    Would I kid u?
