HEEL or you get the flip side…..HELL. Lived with that threat for way too many years!
Good one David…so glad I slipped the rope!

This morning I see trying to keep Jesus on a lead. Got to give Jesus the lead…a rope doesn’t cut it though….it’s got to be heart to heart. I am reminded of the hymn “Lead Kindly Light amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on.”
David, I can’t help myself — I need help
Seeing your post’s title gave me a completely different image. Your cartoon tells of a constrained Jesus, I drew a much more liberated Jesus on my blog — perhaps this is one of the many reasons he is roped in.
Hope you mind my borrowings.
The funny part is that the leash is all the divine attributes people give Jesus. By making Jesus God-like and by putting Jesus on a spiritual pedestal, we don’t have to be bothered by Jesus as an example for how we are to live. We get to be pious without being faithful. It’s a really good trick.

He’s better trained than that…he now rolls over and plays dead.
the play on words in the title is the funniest part

don’t mind
Whooops, sorry, that was a typo. I meant to write: “Hope you DON’T mind my borrowings.” Funny slip.
Thanx
