CHURCH MEMBERS WATCH IN HORROR AS
GRAVY INTENDED FOR CHICKEN DELIGHT TURNS INTO CAT SOUP
The members of the First Frozen Church of Frostbite
Falls, home of the Frozen Chosen, watched in horror last
Friday night as their Friday night family supper and
social get together turned into a disastrous occasion.
All went well up until the time for everyone to be
served and then the churches number one enemy, Beelzebub
by name, reared his ugly head and all you know what
broke loose.
It all began when Pastor Enoch Flanders heard a slight
knocking sound at the door of the church vestry.
Thinking it was one of the members who was a bit late
and had his or her hands full of more delicious
delicacies, Pastor Enoch, as he is known, hurried to
open the door. Pastor Enoch is well known for his
fondness for delicious delicacies, especially deserts,
and he quickly opened the door wide.
Fluffy Flanders, much loved cat and family member of
Pastor Enoch and his family dashed through the door in
what appeared to be a terrified state. Close at her
heels was Rover Rollins, a coonhound who lived next to
the parsonage and was known to be a decided thorn in the
flesh to Fluffy.
Devil Cat - looking
ever so evil
Fluffy leaped to a nearby table top, evidently hoping to
avoid being grabbed and shaken by Rover. Unfortunately
she managed to land in the middle of the gravy intended
for the chicken delight prepared by Mrs. Bessie Jones
who screamed loudly and made a mad dash to grab Fluffy
before she could get out of the gravy. Unfortunately
Rover Rollins managed to get between Mrs. Bessie Jones
and tripped her. Mrs. Jones grabbed the table cloth as
she tried to stop her fall. Rover also grabbed the table
cloth and pulled as he tried to dislodge Fluffy.
Although he was successful in his attempt, Fluffy wasn’t
all that Rover managed to dislodge, along with
unintentional help from Mrs. Jones. The church members
stared in horror as their family supper became a thing
of the past before it had even been started.
Fluffy Flanders was caught and restored to the loving
arms of her human family who comforted her and cleaned
her up. She was greatly comforted by being given a
heaping dish of chicken delight. Cats aren’t quite as
fastidious as humans and Fluffy did not mind a bit that
the chicken delight had been on the floor. The church
members were hard put to avoid falling victims to the
sin of envy as they watched Fluffy’s evident enjoyment.
Rover Rollins was sent home in disgrace.
“The deacons and elders have conferred and for this week
only, the Friday night family supper and social get
together will be the Friday night family fast and social
get together,” Pastor Enoch announced to the church
family.
The following Friday, the whereabouts of both Fluffy and
Rover was ascertained earlier in the day and both were
lovingly confined to areas where they would not have a
confrontation with each other or with the contents of
the church supper.
