If Jesus Were from Texas . . .

Last night we were welcoming our new associate pastor coming to Virginia from the great state of Texas. It started me thinking, what if Jesus had come from Texas. I couldn't help myself. Feel free to add your own.

If Jesus were from Texas . . .

• His disciples would have included Billy Bob, Roy Lee, Scooter, and Bubba.
• He'd have brought his rod and reel with him when he walked on water.
• He'd have fed the multitude with catfish and cornbread.
• He'd be famous for turning water into whiskey.
• The Sermon on the Mount would have been the Preachin' on the Prairie.
• The prayer for the Passover meal would have been, "Good food, good meat, good God, let's eat!"
• His front yard would have been filled with broken down mule carts.
• Instead of a holy grail, knights would have been searching for the Holy Cooler.
• He would have cured the blind man with a little tobacco juice.
• Instead of a fish, the symbol for Jesus would have been a fishing lure.
