The ninth beatitude . . .

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

. . . for sermon time, sometimes: Blessed are the hard of hearing, for they miss most of it.

Song to go with this beatitude:

Turn off your hearing aid, Daddy.
The preacher is off on a tear.
Turn off your hearing aid, Daddy.
The church is afloat in hot air.
