Let’s see, after James is . .

That is to say . .  before James is . .

throws hands up in the air, frustrated

This is driving me crazy is what!

looks into audience as though listening

What am I doing here you ask?

Should be obvious I hope . .  Naming the books of the Bible is what . .

Now where was I?

Oh I might as well start from the beginning . . here goes . .

Revelation, Jude, 3 John, 2 John, 1 John, 2 Peter . . .

looks into audience as though listening

What kinda comment is that you are makin’?

Yes of course I realize I am sayin’ the books of the Bible backwards! . . That is the whole point of this . . . Now then . . .

Revelation, Jude, 3 John . . .

looks into audience as though listening, gets frustrated

What is it now that you’re asking me?

Why would I be sayin’ the books of the Bible last to first you ask?

Hits me, you should know the answer to that question yourself, no need to disturb me when I’m here tryin’ to show what God can do and all.

I mean . .  anyone can rhyme off the books of the Bible, first to last, I mean . . everyone can for sure.

looks into audience as though listening

OK so maybe I can’t  . . . every time . . . For sure 9 times outta 10 likely. . .

thinks

Alright maybe 3 times outta 10 I can go through the books of the Bible last to first, no problem. . .

OK, so maybe I sometimes need the Bible index open when I am . .

looks into audience as though listening

You ask what I am doin’ up here, doin’ this?

Look, you gotta understand . .

I may be young . .  but thing is I am gifted . . . gifted . .

looks into audience as though listening, annoyed

No, that does not mean I am all full of myself . .

I’m not gifted by anything I have done . .

I am gifted . .  by God . . .

See, being gifted by God is way more than just about me . . It’s all about God . .

See, fact is, since I accepted Jesus as my personal saviour . .  you’d like, never believe the things he’s done in my life.

Like for instance I was always this guy that worries a lot . .  unsure . . uptight .

And since I met Jesus . .  personal . . I got this . . I dunno . . . peace, I guess you’d maybe say . .

Folks around me they say . . .

“Hey, what happened to that dude?”
