Well, now everyone knows they are welcome to the first social gathering of the year. I'm glad you all came and I knew I was going to need help filling this church, especially on a Friday night because it's a hard night to do anything. and I, when I need help, I always meditate and you know what I do, I asked God to help me, I called on God, I said God, are you the chairman of the board and I'm just an enthusiastic young executive? I told God, I need a little help here in the sales department and God answered me, said Reverend Elmo, he always calls me by my name, Elmo said sharply, I'm sending you someone, he said, I'm sending you someone, not just anyone, but someone who is going to help you. help you spread the word to the brothers and sisters you know I met this brother back in 19 1959 1959 that was the year I bought my car I will never forget it of course I didn't meet the brother in the same place I mean the Sir, no, no, I mean the brother in the pool hall and I mean the gentleman in jail.

I would say thank you brothers and sisters I don't want to take up too much of your time it's just a word or two I wanted to give a little sermon that is one of the favorites of my congregation and is dedicated to those who are not working, I will not go to the extreme to name names because I feel like people who are not working know who they are now in order to make my point, I must tell you the story of King Nebuchadnezzar and the Hebrew boys, that is to help me make my point, you know what I mean and I must make my point, otherwise it is of no use, preaching is a lot like playing dice, if you don't make your point, it means nothing, Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, they called him king of good times because in Babylon every night was a party night they had casinos there that never closed they were scarlet women of all colors

ing everything they had to whoever wanted to see it and there were a lot of big eyes in babylon and babylon every night was saturday night and the children wouldn't go to bed when their parents told them it was an evil people what those people now a few miles up the road in Jerusalem lived in Hebrews worked for God was good and Nebuchadnezzar was bad and bad they don't like good They don't like good.

They don't know that evil can't stand good. So he said to himself, it's the same. I think I'll visit the Hebrews and give them some problem. That's how the problem falls on you. You don't just expect it from heaven. some problem you just say well why is this happening to me that's your problem and we're right outside the city and the voice in the middle of the night said stop who's going there that's what the boy said it was a hebrew boy named daniel king I said what is your name the Hebrew boy said sir my name is daniel so he told him my name is daniel danny was a good boy and his mother had told him that every time you talk to your elders you say sir that's why I said he said sir my name is daniel king he didn't like nice guys so he said tie him up and when we get back I'll be there they were going to throw him into the lines so the king and his army marched into the city and they went crazy they shot up the place they broke all the windows they ripped out all the streetlights They walked through people's gardens and scared the children.

Can I? He is ashamed, ashamed, ashamed, when he returned home, the first thing Nebuchadnezzar did was count his blue, he captured four Hebrew children, Daniel Shadrach Meshach and a large black man, they also captured 15 slave girls and a solid gold plate for 12 that was stolen from a Hebrew temple there were not many other things she took, but I don't have time to name them all now, but a complete list of the items taken will be for sale after the service. I recommend everyone to pick one up for This time it started to get cold in the throne room, so Nebuchadnezzar said the guard just said the fat Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and when the guards brought them in, he told the guards to throw these fools to the fire.

The king did not know that the lord was looking. It was the lord who was looking through the wall. He can look through the wall. Many people do not know that God can look through a wall better than the clock shop. He managed to catch fish with lightning. X and King Nebuchadnezzar did not know that the Lord had reached the Hebrew borders before and told me that he said: When they are ready to throw yourself on the fire, I don't fight because I have you covered you, that's what he said, I have you covered you, Isn't it so beautiful to be covered?

I really wonder: Am I telling the truth as far as I know? And when the guards put the Hebrew children into the fire, it spluttered and went out. The fire simply sputtered and went out. He didn't send hairs on your head. I won't say that. They were not thirsty, but the fire crackled and went out. I want everyone to tell me what the fire did. Then he told the guards to bring that fool, Daniel. We brought Daniel in to throw that sucker on the line. How scandalous, so daniel, the nice boy who said sir, my name is daniel, he said to the lions with him, sir, come with daniel too, daniel said when they throw you in the lines in the cage, don't fight, so Daniel crouched down. cage and stood there and looked at the lions and the lions looked at Daniel then the lions looked at each other and Daniel looked at the lions as they looked at each other then he looked at the king he said sir the lions not hungry yes the theologians are not hungry The king said quite fairly, I tell you that you will stay there until they get hungry because the lions have nowhere to go the lions have no dates you may have an engagement from the rams but the lions have nowhere to go that night the king had a great feast and the king spoke under the crowd saying let the good times pass pass by me one more time and they danced justin could never bring that cup to his mouth the man went through the wall who did not break a brick he went through the wall and wrote something on it She had one of those pencils that you have right on the wall I think they call them marking pencils she wrote on the wall the King said yes I saw what I saw and the crowd told him dicks and then he asked for his glasses.

King needed glasses because his vision was weak. It's like he's been telling them too much. The division of weekend sex is not necessary. have good vision when you are the king because usually the people around you see it your way anyway the king still couldn't read the writing on the wall so he sent for Daniel and said Daniel read that writing and then It would be attached to the wall. He said sir, it is a letter from the sir, he said, but what does the letter say? Trump said I've been looking through a lot of walls lately and seen what he's been doing to the people who work for me.

He said I saw you throw the Hebrew children into the fiery furnace and I saw you throw Daniel into the lions' den and I saw you drinking from my golden cups and the party was over, so they told them the party was over. , so I tell you, brothers and sisters, come out. there those who are not working the lord's unemployment office is open 24 hours a day get a job working for the lord retirement age as an eternal life bonus when you work for the lord he has you covered amen
