George Carlin


Carlin was a stand-up comedian who could address the most common of life experiences in a very funny way. Many liked him, and many didn’t. He certainly used language that inflamed some, and provoked wild laughter in others. In spite of his language, his keen perception of everyday things, from large to small, from the obvious to the subtle, provided him with an endless supply of materials for his shows. Here’s a meme of his take on life.

Suppose, for a moment, that George Carlin was a hugely successful Christian comedian delivering that talk about other Christians. He’d be talking some tall truth there, and it wouldn’t be too funny would it? And, were he that successful Christian comedian, I wonder what else he might have added about things we neglect to do as Christians.

Bottom Line Thought: Do you see yourself in any of that bit by Carlin? If so, what effect are those things having on your relationships and your spiritual life?
