Feminist On A Bike

The parson was walking up the driveway to retrieve the church mail. A familiar figure was pedaling a bicycle toward him.

“Hi, parson,” the rider called.



“Hello, Ginger. Where are you headed in such a hurry?”



Ginger put her bike into a skid to stop in front of the parson.



“I’m heading home. I’ve got to get the groceries home for my Mom. A couple of things are frozen. So I have to hurry.”

“Well, don’t let me be responsible for melting food.”



“I won’t. Want to hear something crazy?”



“Sure, I’ve got time. Do you?”



“Funny, parson, but this won’t take long.”



“What is it?”

“I was at a community meeting last week. The leader went around the room and asked everyone what they wanted to be. When I told them I wanted to be a pastor two boys caused a fuss. They go to that Fifteen Cornerstones of Irrefutable Doctrine Church over on Highway 50. Anyway, they said that it was against the Word of God for girls to be preachers.”



“What did you say?”



“I said it they were stupid.”



“You told them they are stupid?”



“I did.”



“And what happened then?”

“The lady that was leading the group asked me if I wanted to have a debate with them.”



“Did you?”



“No, sir, I did not. I told her it was impossible to debate stupid.” Ginger started pushing her bike and then jumped on. “Bye, parson,” she said, “I’d better hurry home.” As she pedaled away the parson read the tag hanging behind her seat: “Feminist for Jesus.”

It ain't so. I plead ignorance. I'd have a problem relating to you John Wesley's General Rules and I certainly wasn't aware the Assemblies of God have Sixteen Fundamental Truths. Hmmm! --- QP

Ginger is one special young lady.

Fifteen Cornerstones of Irrefutable Doctrine Church--made me LOL! But that sounds an awful lot like the Sixteen Fundamental Truths of the Assmeblies of God. Sigh. Say it aint so. Dang it! YAY FOR GINGER! SingingOwl
