It depends on whose hands it's in.


A tennis racket is useless in my hands.

A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal A rod in Moses' hands
will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy
A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends whose hands it's in.

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish
sandwiches.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it's in.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will

Who actually writes this shit? Any why? Is there room somewhere filled with lunatics composing mindless emails to fill our in-boxes? Any why oh why do these things invariably come back to them God'n'Jesus fellows?

So I should ignore everything. Al my worries, such as paying the nmortgage each month, all my hopes (Ireland in the rugby on saturday - come on Ireland), all my dreams (perhaps not go there ) and my family, cos, cos, this God fellow will take care of evrything for me? Thats rather nice of him.

Oh really? Even this one:




?

Might have something to do with the racket, too.

But that's just my theory. What do I know?

The two aren't the same thing. Jesus didn't hold the nails -- they were pounded into his hands.

And nails nailed into my hands are highly unlikely to produce a birdhouse.

No I believe that nails in your hand (and the feet) would kill you - Just like it did with Jesus.. Maybe that glurge writer whould see if thats true?

The Power Glove in my hands is a worthless piece of crap.
The Power Glove in Lucas Barton's hands is "so bad."

That was my first thought, too!

And, why is a basketball worth more if Jordan is holding it? It's still just a basketball.

Also? The nails get driven through the victim's wrists, not hands.

But Jesus was a carpenter, so wouldn't it follow that the nails in Jesus' hands would be just as likely to produce a birdhouse?

Was Jesus a carpenter. I thought he was the son of a carpenter (in as much as you can consider Joseph to be his father.)

It so happens I am the son of a carpenter. A very good one. Give me the nails, the wood and the proper tools and ask me to build a birdhouse, I promise you within one week you'll get back something that's not fit to put on a fire, let alone for birds to live in.

I guess it does skip a generation.

I've certainly heard, although not read in the Bible (not that I've read all that much of the Bible), that Joseph trained Jesus as a carpenter.

A rod in MY hands definetly wouldn't! I'd want way more than that if I had to go up against wild animals.
