Batman's Column

May 22, 2022

It iz me, Batman, da rectory doggo! Has u seen my earz? Dey r big and soft and fluffy. Some hoomanz say dat dey iz da bestest part o me. However, dere iz a problem. Sometimez dey don’t work. My daddo will call me. My Unca Dave will call me. Da rectory staff will call me. But I dere voicez don’t seemz 2 penetrate da fluffiness (But really I dontz want 2 listen. I wantz 2 do da stuff I likz)! In 2dayz Gosepl, Jesus sayz 2 His disciples that we haz 2 keep His word. If we do, if we listen, den God will dwell in us. It iz da only way dat we can hav de Advocate, da Holy Spirit b a part o our livz. But da BIGGEST part iz dat we haz 2 listen! We can’t let da “fluffiness” get in da way. If we only doez wut we wantz, den God can’t work in us. If we shut Him out, dere will b no room 4 Him 2 dwell. So let da goal o dis week b 2 improve our listening skillz. Let us focus more on da word o God den da our words. And don’t 4get 2 tell me how nice my earz r! 

God Bless (and u can’t beat fluffy)!
