Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for July 23, 2009

When do we get to hear his sermon?

Perhaps Upton belongs in jail, but she belongs with me. Let me make a good woman out of her…

Actually she’s not really bad, she’s just drawn that way.

Yes, be yourself. Except put on some decent clothes (though that outfit might help increase the collection)!

serenasakitty, you have to attend his church. Good luck getting there….

I tried acting like myself in church but no one believed it was me, so I hopped out of it.

I wonder who will change first. Maybe Upton, because he gets it. The woman does not. Where I go to church at our Minister is speaking from book of Mark. And special events did not naturally go with Mark. But he explains real well. I wonder if Upton will do the same; although he is not ordain and I would not want him to baptise me.

She better not be herself, she’s supposed to be the reverend’s wife! She better go get herself a modest dress to put on.

Completely dull and boring

Are there not lessons,laws of society to become aware of in this story;the ten commandments for one. I hope those who comment on dress design are clothiers themselves,the others may try to go to a church,mosque,temple themselves. Not only is it good for the soul yet they may meet someone too.

HectorPriam good one

I think Upton will preach a fine message, come to know Jesus as his Savior, and the real Reverend Peacegood will be sitting in the back row, waiting to expose a fraud, but will instead embrace him as a brother!

I think Upton will preach a fine message, come to know Jesus as his Savior, and the real Reverend Peacegood will walk in while Upton is confessing the wrong he has done!

Hey Oop! Is that Caveman Jive talk? – Upton should just say she was ill, it’ll probably save him alot of trouble later on.

Many are called, but few are chosen (or, as a college classmate said to me one wintery day, “Many are cold, but few are frozen”).

Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I Come! I Come!
