I’ve always believed that the secret of honing your craft is to do it. If you are a painter, paint everyday…even if you cover it or pitch it later. Even if you have no idea what you want to paint…just paint. I write every day. Even if I have no idea what I’m writing or where its going. This was one of those things that just sort of came out a few weeks back. Someday, I’m going to find a place for it.

Blind Man:

Help me?

Disciples:

Hey Jesus, is this guy blind because of something he did or something his parents did?

Blind Man:

Help me?

Jesus

: Why do you always need someone to blame for things? Watch this. (Jesus spits in the dirt and makes some mud and covers the blind man’s eyes) Now go wash off the mud.

Blind Man:

Hey! I can see!

Bystanders:

Isn’t he the one who was blind? Nah, that just someone who looks like him.

(Previously) Blind Man

: Its ME! I can see! Jesus healed me!

Bystanders:

Who is Jesus? Point him out to us.

(Previously) Blind man:

Like I would know what he looks like? I was blind for Christ’s sake.

Pharisees:

How did you get your sight back?

(Previously) Blind Man:

Jesus healed me.

Pharisees:

Well, that settles it. Jesus is no messiah. The messiah wouldn’t work on the Sabbath.

(Until recently) Blind Man

: Helloooooooo? I can seeeeeeeeeee.

Pharisees:

Is this your son? Wasn’t he born blind? How did this happen?

(Previously) Blind Man’s Folks.

Why don’t you ask him?

Not Blind Any More Man:

Hey, numbnuts. My eyes are working here. It’s a miracle.

Pharisees:

Tell the truth, What REALLY happened.

(Previously) Blind Person;

I was blind. Now I can see. What more do you need to know?

Pharisees:

Go through it one more time.

(Blind no longer guy):

Why are you wanting to follow him too?

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Never say that to a Pharisee.

Pharisees:

* Much cursing and anger* Throw him out in the street.

(Previously) Blind Guy: Hey, idiots. Stop looking in the rulebook. There’s not going to be an entry for a mud and water blindness cure.

Pharisees:

Throw him out! Throw him out!

(And they did)

Not Blind Man:

Unbelievable.

Jesus:

Do you believe what happened to you was a miracle?

(Previously) Blind Guy:

Do you know who healed me?

Jesus:

What, are you deaf now too?

(Previously) Blind Guy:

It’s YOU!

Jesus:

I’m doing these miracles so that those who are FIGURATIVELY blind can see too?

(Previously) Blind Guy

: What’s figuratively mean?

Jesus

*pinches the bridge of his nose* Anybody got an Advil?
