Down in a Hole

Write up for Dec 7th Morning Parable. (This page is temporary and will be deleted after event)

“Did you wait around for me?”

“How’d it go?”

“He thinks I have an eating disorder.”

“Josh…”

“And a fear of rectangles. That’s not weird is it? … I didn’t cut my hand on a glass. I broke a window in my apartment.”

“This guy’s walking down the street when he falls in the hole. The walls are so steep he can’t get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, ‘Hey, you, can you help me out?’ Doctors writes the guy a prescription, throws it down the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along and the guy says, ‘Father, I’m down in this hole, can you help me out?’ The priest writes down a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. ‘Hey, Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?’ And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, ‘Are ya stupid? Now we’re both down here!’ The friend says, ‘Yeah, but I’ve been down here before and I know the way out.’ … Long as I got a job, you got a job, you understand?”
