THE AMBIGUITY OF SINNERS/SAINTS
There is the story of the man who came down from the Carolina mountains. He was all dressed up and carrying his Bible. A friend saw him and asked, “Elias, what’s happening? Where are you going all dressed up like that?” Elias said “I’ve been hearing about New Orleans. I hear that there is a lot of free- runnin’ liquor and a lot of gamblin’ and a lot of real good naughty shows.” The friend looked him over and said, “But Elias, why are you carrying your Bible under your arm?” And Elias replied “Well, if it’s as good as they say it is, I might stay over until Sunday.”
