And now for something completely different...
When I posted a link to the John Hus video the other day, I mentioned that the most embarrassing moment of my life was related to the end of that movie. Basically, Hus winds up being burned at the stake, and he dies singing "Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me" over and over again as he's being burnt alive.
Sooooooo, when I worked at Amazon doing the overnight shift, one night I was really overwhelmed with my life in general, and I felt an urgent need to get alone with the Lord. As it turned out, they offered us "Voluntary Time Off" (VTO) that night, and I immediately jumped at the opportunity. I left work at about 2:00 a.m., jumped in my car, threw my cellphone on the passenger's seat, and began my normal 50 to 55 minute drive home.
Seeing how I was so overwhelmed, the only thing that I could do that night was to sing that song that Hus sang as he was being burned at the stake over and over and over again for the full duration of my ride home. When I say that I sang it, I mean that I SANG IT...like at the top of my lungs. So, I pull into my driveway at home close to an hour later, and as I turn off my ignition, I hear this somewhat muffled voice of a woman saying things like:
"Please don't kill yourself."
"No matter how bad it is, it can get better."
"Just tell us where you are, and we'll come get you...no matter how far it is."
"Please...please, don't kill yourself."
So, I'm like thinking, "Am I hearing voices or something?"
I check to see if my car radio is on, but it isn't...and then I glance over to my passenger's seat, and pick up my cellphone.
Apparently, when I threw it on the seat as I began my journey home, it dialed my sister in New Jersey, and she and her husband heard me singing "Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me" AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS for almost an hour, and they thought that I was on a bridge or something getting ready to jump. When I asked her why she and her husband thought that, she said because I sounded as if I was in agony...REFERRING TO MY SINGING!
lol.
True story, unfortunately.
Hopefully, that made somebody laugh...even if it's at my expense.
