As the resident clown of pretty much everything I did for all of my growing up I can think of about a dozen examples that I could cite specifically of this basic type of scenario unfolding. The coach or the teacher or mom or dad or whoever is yelling at

somebody for getting something wrong, but they're saying it in real funny ways

like a drill sergeant would. And then I'm standing down the row a little bit and I'm

like, that's kind of funny like, that's kind of funny.

Because it's kind of funny.

And then the coach or the teacher, the parent or the drill sergeant,

And they'd be like, oh no, so it's over here, they're in trouble for doing this thing, but don't think for a minute that you're not going to get it too because I know what you did.

And in Matthew Chapter 11, I kind of imagine all the people of Corazine and Besseda who were standing there while Jesus yelling at him and saying

woe to you because they saw the miracles of Jesus and the kingdom's right in front of their faces and

they're like, eh, not into it, I'm not going to do it.

And they're standing there and maybe they kind of felt bad like in nothing else.

Maybe they had the social sense to hang their heads and not make eye contact with him.

And then right on down the line there's Capurnium and they're like,

hmm, because you got a figure, Corzine, Beth Seda,

they're probably like, you know, big-time football rivals with Capernium.

And they always rooted against each other

and complained about how dumb the other towns were and now

Kepurnium finally gets a leg up and Jesus goes into all of this stuff about how you
