Funny Friday: Jesus is Watching
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around,
looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his
sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying “Jesus is
watching you.” He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out
and froze.
When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, clicked the light
back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo
out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, “Jesus is
watching you.” Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking
for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his
flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
“Did you say that?” he hissed at the parrot.
“Yep,” the parrot confessed, “I’m just trying to warn you.”
The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?”
“Moses,” replied the bird.
“Moses” the burglar laughed. “What kind of stupid people would name a parrot
Moses?”
“Probably the same kind of people that would name their rottweiler Jesus,”
the bird answered.
“The LORD is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3 (NLT)
