Deacon Robert Banet
Get thee behind me, Satan!
My cousin Charlie tries to bring his children up right.
Oh? How’s that?
His daughter had a date the other week and had an experience.
Oh? Tell me more.
Well, this guy took her out to a nice restaurant and the first thing he did after they ordered is to make an indecent proposal to her.
That’s a bad thing to do no matter when.
You’re right.
What did Carla do?
She was stunned but she got composure back and then when their order arrived, she took the soup, and dumped it in his lap!
No! I don’t believe it! Right there in the restaurant?
Yes. Right there. She got up and left. Fortunately she had a way home.
Did she tell your cousin Charlie?
Yes. And you know what he said?
Go on.
He praised her. He always had told her to resist temptation at the first time it appears.
That sounds like good advice. How I wish I had a father like that.
Well, Charlie’s a good man. He brings up his children right. He knows he’s responsible for getting them to heaven.
