Fred, and said, "How about kissing this goat?" 

Of course, Uncle Fred was stunned by the action, and everyone except
Uncle Fred broke out in almost uncontrollable laughter. 

Only my grandfather could pull one on Uncle Fred. I'm unsure how long it
took him to put this kind of plan together, and he surely deserves 
credit. 

I sure do miss Uncle Fred and wish The Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage would've had an opportunity to meet him. I'm afraid, though, 
she might've given him a goat to kiss but not what he had in mind. 

Sometimes you don't really appreciate a person until after they're gone.
The more I think of Uncle Fred, the more I appreciate his phrase, "I'd 
rather kiss a goat." 

It all came to a head when the other day, The Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage came into my office and said, "Would you like to go shopping 
with the girls and me?" 

Trying not to smile, I looked at her and said, "I'd rather kiss a goat."


Glaring at me with one of "those glares," she said, "What did you say?
Did you just call me a goat?" 

Oh boy, do I have some 'splainin' to do? 

As I was trying to figure out my defense, I was reminded of what Jesus
said in Matthew 12:36-37, "But I say unto you, That every idle word 
that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of 
judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words 
thou shalt be condemned." 

The most important thing is to understand that God will hold me
accountable for every word I speak, even those idle words.
