Today's Reading: 1 Kings 3-4 and 2 Corinthians 1
This is a Transcript of “Prostitute vs. Prostitute”
Judge Officiating: Solomon the king
Date: The first year of Solomon
Baliff: Here is the issue. Woman 1 woke up with a dead son. She claims woman 2 switched babies and while the other was sleeping.
Judge: Oh, for crying out loud, you are just a bunch of hos!
Baliff: Sir?
Judge: I’m the king, dang it! Don’t you think I have better things to do than officiate over a matter like this!
Woman1: Please hear me out! I want my son back.
Woman2: You mean my son.
Judge: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Wait a second, this reminds me of a dream that I had last night. I saw that the promises in God are “Yes” and “Amen”. I saw the words 2 Corinthians amongst them.
Baliff: What does that have to do with anything?
Judge: I don’t know. Oh wait, God also showed up to give me some wisdom. Wait! I know what to do. Bring me a sword.
Baliff: Why.
Judge: So I can cut all of your dang heads off. No, I’m just kidding. I mean, not that I couldn’t, but I just want to cut this bas…this baby in half.
Baliff: How do you want it cut?
Judge: Did you actually think I wasn’t kidding about that! Well, I wasn’t, so good job! I was thinking down the middle. No, not down the waistline middle, but from nose to toes middle! That way, each of them get equal portions, unless that tyke’s got a birthmark.
Woman 1: Wait, give the baby to the other one. At least he will live.
Woman 2: Fine, who cares.
Judge: Okay, that first lady is the real mother. After all, guess who was willing to sacrifice for the sake of their own.
Woman 1: Thank you, my liege.
Judge:
Solomon was willing to put it all on the line for one thing, a breakthrough! I’m wondering if he was the one who coined the term “think outside the box” because this is the most outside the box that I have ever seen.
I wonder what other solutions to our problems are just waiting to be solved through a little creative thinking. Sometimes you have to risk cutting a baby in half to get that breakthrough, but it is worth it.
Who knows what atoms are waiting to be split?
