A few years back, out with B and some friends, I got caught in the middle of a conversation about basketball teams.
The topic was Secular vs. Catholic school teams (for lack of a better phrase) focusing on how the Catholic teams always seem to be much better.
I mentioned that it would be pretty funny if the losing teams began to renounce God en mass, after losing to a big Catholic school team.
We went with it for a bit and it was very entertaining.
I have been fascinated with really short stories that contain larger stories, in just a few sentences or small paragraphs.
I was reminded of that conversation today while listening to the priest at church talk about the story of Job.
Here is what I came up with today-Hope it works.
I also have to credit a certain Guy Benoit for coming up with the team name and finding the idea funny-it was definitely a collaboration.
A new wager was made, straight out of the book of Job.
Sadly, the previous winner is foiled this time when Bucci's Auto Body unanimously renounces God, in favor of his Adversary, after losing in a landslide to the St. Pius basketball team on Thursday.
