*Jesus Saves * Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God the Father as the judge.
They set themselves before their computers and begin. They are given the task, and began to type *furiously*, lines of code streaming up the screen for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan *indignantly*protests, "I have nothing! I lost it all when the power went out." "Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better. "Jesus enters a command and the screen comes to life with a *vivid* display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. He *stutters*, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact! How did he do it?" God *chuckles*, "Satan, when are you going to learn ...Jesus saves!" *- - - - -* ** *Word Meanings * *¤* furiously (adverb) : with as much effort as possible. *¤* indignant (adjective) : angry because of something which is wrong or not fair. *¤* stutter (verb) : to speak or say something, especially the first part of a word, with difficulty, for example pausing before it or repeating it several times. *¤* chuckle (verb) : to laugh inwardly or quietly. *¤* vivid (adjective) : *1.* strikingly bright or intense, as color, light, etc. : *a vivid green*. *2.* full of life; lively; animated : * a vivid personality.* ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "English Learner's Cafe" group.
