a superior senior moment

My sermon today at TLBC was on "Christ and the 3rd Commandment".

Notice also the latest news and prayer requests.

*******
A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football
game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen
sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation
to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive
one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby
to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet
planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships
have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen
cars, computers with DSL, bsp; light-speed processing ....
and, " pausing to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and
said,

"You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were
young.....so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little idiot,
what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding...
