THINGS JACOB MIGHT HAVE SAID TO LEAH AFTER THEIR HONEYMOON NIGHT
It’s one of the bawdiest tales in the Bible unless you’re Jacob! After a hard-working and celibate seven years, he spends a honeymoon night with the wrong bride and apparently doesn’t notice. (And the Bible says LEAH had “weak eyes.”)
Our Loma Linda University Church family heard a classic sermon yesterday about this BOGO wedding party, and it reminded me of a long-ago “Top Ten Letterman List” I compiled for my Upper Room Fellowship friends. Here are just a few of my favorites:
** “I should have been suspicious when the wedding invitations said ‘Jacob and “To Be Announced.”’”
** “I still have the receipt and I’m turning you back in.”
** “Uncle Laban, you win. Your April Fools Joke WAS better than mine.”
** “Now I’M the one with the headache.”
** “When you whispered in my ear, ‘I’ve got a little secret,’ is this what you were thinking of?”
** “This is what I get for buying my glasses out of a box of Captain Crunch.”
** “When your daddy mentioned ‘two-for-one’ specials at supper last week, I thought he meant at Home Depot.”
