When we were about 8 or 9, me and Jay and JD (my older brother, whose name I use so infrequently in my blog, I can't even remember what I call him) liked to put things to the test. So when Mom used to say that Jesus would save us from anything as long as we uttered His name.... we were instantly thinking the same thing....
The plan was for one or more of us to jump down the stairs (12 steps) whilst yelling "Jesus"... because of course, Jesus would save us and we wouldn't get hurt. Yeah right. So no one wanted to go first. Man I was standing there on the landing at the top and it just looked...so...far...down.
So we went and found the black cat, Sammy, and while yelling "Jesus", we threw her down instead. Probably two or three times. She lived, so our experiment "worked" and "Jesus Saved".
Praise the Lord!

He's James, because you use the names I use. ;-)
You're silly. I don't remember that at all. I remember Daddy talking about the same thing though. But we were outside and he said, "If you jumped out of your bedroom window."
Heheh. We're baaaaaad!
It's the 30th today... Happy Birthday!!
happy belated birthday
Jesus does save - sometimes by keeping us from jumping.
happy belated groundhog day also...
