And finally, because it’s been yet another exhausting week and my sense of humor not-so-secretly remains at the maturity level of a twelve-year-old’s:
The hand gesture in the third clip? Gets me every time.
My good lord: I’ve seen this show before. I was utterly captivated by it when I was channel-surfing several years ago, and always wondered what the name of it (it was the “God’s in you” episode).
One would think this could only stay funny for so long, but it gets funnier every time I watch it.
In Texas, we’ve have Robert Tilton for years and years. We’ve tried figuring out what the nonsense language is he uses when he speaks in tongues: it’s a combination of Spanglish, Cat Stevens lyrics, and the international language of looooooove.

I’ve seen this guy before! He comes on the same channel as the Pink Cotton Candy headed lady with the really gaudy church.
Doesn’t he just LOOK like a swindler? Who’d send him money?
Oh, that was very funny. Almost as amusing as the sermon I heard today in church. You know, our time in the world is very short. In fact, Christians are merely pitching tents in this world until we go on to eternal life. We are all pitching tents. Jesus pitched a tent. Some Christian’s tents are bigger than others. Etc., etc. The metaphor lasted a good two minutes. Heeee…
