A MASTER/SERVANT RELATIONSHIP

9. “Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,

10. not pilfering [thieving], but showing all good fidelity [honesty], that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.”

Titus 2:9,10 (NKJV)

• If you are an employee under a  person or company, the Bible admonishes you, as a Christian, to be obedient to your master or employer.

- Not only that, but also, you should be well pleasing in all things, that is, you do your best to please your master (Titus 2:9).

- Not answering back: if you are being instructed, corrected or scolded, you should not talk back (Titus 2:9).

- Your obedience should not be to the masters who are good only, but froward or harsh masters as well.

18. “Servants be submissive to your masters with all fear, NOT ONLY TO THE GOOD AND GENTLE BUT ALSO TO THE HARSH.

19. For this is commendable, if because of conscience towards God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully.”

1 Peter 2:18,19 (NKJV)

• You should do, whatever you do for your master, employer, as if you do it for the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7).

5. “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, IN SINCERITY OF HEART ❤️, AS TO CHRIST;

6. not with eyeservice, as men pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

7. WITH GOODWILL DOING SERVICE, AS TO THE LORD, AND NOT TO MEN.

Ephesians 6:5-7 (NKJV)

- If you are submissive and obedient to the person you work for, your boss, you are not being stupid; you only display the good virtues of God in you– the unbelievers will have nothing evil to say of you (Titus 2:8).

- Through your conduct, the Word of God is adorned–you make the teaching about Christ, the gospel, attractive to others (Titus 2:10).

• In addition to that, you should be faithful and financially accountable; not pilfering or thieving, that is, not stealing things, regardless of the value– no matter how small.

- Some believers do not have a good testimony where they work, they collude with other employees to steal and swindle their masters.

- The reason why a number of believers do not excel in what they do is because; they employ, apply, the principles of the world to succeed, but it cannot work for them– a servant cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24; Luke 16:13).

- If you want to prosper in what you do, follow the principles of the Bible (Matthew 7:24-27).

• If you have a callous, froward, or harsh master, submit to him anyway.

- If your employer is cruel and unkind, and yet you are faithful, loyal, and obedient to him– God will safeguard your interests, deal with him, if he mistreated you (Ephesians 6:9).

- God is not partial, He is a just God (James 5:1-4).

• Truth

- At times the reason why some masters are unfair is because some employees are not faithful–they are not diligent in their works (Proverbs 22:29).

- Some do the work given to them with levity–they have a laid-back attitude to work. They do not work for the money they earn.

- Albeit, if you are faithful in what you do, God will give you a better job–if your faithfulness is apparent or obvious (1 Timothy 4:15).

• Take Note:

- If you are honest, you live right where you work; through your good conduct, you make the gospel attractive to others–you adorn the gospel.

- Some believers cannot witness for Christ where they work or live.

- The life they live, sinful life, has shut their mouth–they cannot witness for Christ (Acts 1:8).

- Remember, if you are good to your master, God will reward you. If you are faithful in another man’s thing, yours shall be given to you (Luke 16:12).

“Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.”

Ephesians 6:8 (NKJV)

14. “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15. “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16. “LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.”

Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJV)

• You will not fail in Jesus’ name.

Peace!

Sarah Stephens, a committed mom of 6 children, was focused on her family and children and their myriad of activities until her entire world shook. Her perspective shifted drastically in 2019 when everything around her was shut down and closed. Sarah became a passionate, on fire powerful woman ready to fight for her family, her city, her state and her nation. She even decided to step up and run for governor of the state of California.

Sarah’s words to patriots are profound: “When we unite as the Body of Christ we can push back against the kingdom of hell and darkness! The Holy Spirit can come down, and we can bring Heaven to earth.” Sarah and her husband planned a wakeup event in the middle of the lockdown and over 10,000 people showed up…including over 800 motorcycles…all wanting to hear the truth and learn what they could do to make a difference.

Sarah’s voice is strong and needs to be embraced. “God has called us to unite the Body of Christ here in California…and we can take back all that the enemy has stolen. We know the God of miracles, and our God is bigger and stronger than the enemy”

…Let’s Make California Gold Again, and change our culture so that ‘those who know their God will be strong and do exploits.’

### Marjorie Taylor Greene: Hypocrisy in Action

Why anyone in their right mind would stoop so low to sleep with Marjorie Taylor Greene is yet to be determined, but apparently, the butch blonde attracts like-minded individuals. Known for her extreme views and inflammatory rhetoric, Greene now faces accusations of two extramarital affairs, all while portraying herself as a devout Christian.

These allegations came from her former gym manager, one of the men she allegedly cheated with, and surfaced during her 2020 campaign for Georgia's 14th Congressional District seat. This blatant hypocrisy—preaching Christian values while engaging in morally questionable behavior—casts serious doubts on her integrity and authenticity.

While politicians often present a facade that differs from their private lives, Greene's case is particularly egregious due to her aggressive moral posturing. Her actions serve as a stark reminder of the importance of scrutinizing those who claim to uphold high moral standards.

Unlocking True Greatness Lessons from Mark 10 Faith & Leadership

Elevate Your Life with Insights from Mark 10 🚀

Hello, beautiful souls! Are you ready to elevate your understanding and walk into a higher dimension of living? Mark 10 is your guidebook, filled with divine insights that promise to elevate your spirit and challenge your perceptions.

🚪 Gateway to Greatness

Dive into the depths of what Jesus teaches about marriage—It’s not just a union, but a reunion, bringing us back to the wholeness God intended. Whether you're married or not, reflect on the relationships in your life. Are they marked by such unity and respect?

🧒 The Kingdom’s Key

The simplicity of a child’s faith is powerful. In Mark 10, Jesus doesn’t just suggest but insists that embracing such simplicity is crucial. This week, let’s rediscover the wonder of faith, looking at the world with eyes full of awe and hearts full of trust.

💸 The Cost of Following

The encounter with the rich young ruler hits hard, reminding us all of the cost of discipleship. It's about what we're willing to give up for what we gain in return—unfathomable peace, eternal life, and a relationship with Jesus Himself. What can you let go of today to hold onto something far greater?

🙏 Prayer for Wisdom

Father, grant us the wisdom to understand the deep lessons of Mark 10. Teach us to live lives of genuine faith, sacrificial love, and humble service. May we always seek the treasures that await us in Your presence. Amen.

Let’s Reflect

Mark 10 challenges us to look beyond the surface and discover the treasures of a life lived fully in God’s truth. What part of this chapter spoke to you the most? Let’s share and grow together!

Conservative Christian rep. Lauren Boebert claims that transgender folks are groomers and dangerous around children. Then Lauren gets caught jerking off her boyfriend in a theater full of kids. Lauren Boebert needs to be fucking arrested for public lewdness. #ChristianValues Lauren Boebert has been railing against transgender folks for years — claiming they are groomers, dangerous around children, etc. She hides her bigotry behind her “Christian values.” Then she gets caught giving a handjob in a crowded theater around children. It’s astounding to me that she hasn’t already been arrested. Lock her up. Submitted September 17, 2023 at 02:50PM by relevantlife (From Reddit https://ift.tt/KENVgHy)

It is vital we realize we are a model of God to our children. Sally Clarkson #treasurefamilyvalues #treasureyourchildren #SallyClarksonquote #christianvalues Lin

[jgregsawyer]

In this episode, we talk about the challenges we face as Christian parents trying to raise kids who stay true to their identity in a culture that pushes back against biblical values.  We discuss insights from real-life situations, like how cultural shifts are affecting family dynamics, and how we’re trying to guide our kids through these identity challenges. We talk about the dangers of letting culture define who we are, and why it’s so important to root our identity in what God says about us. Plus, we explore how to balance protecting our kids from harmful influences while also preparing them to think critically about the world around them. We keep it practical, encouraging fellow parents to build strong, biblical foundations early on, helping our kids develop a sense of belonging and purpose rooted in God's love. We chat about the cultural pressures that can shake this identity and share our thoughts on how Christian families can stick together and stay grounded in their faith.

VEGGIETALES parody: “Vegemorph”

Archibald Asparagus- Dr. Jonathan Chase

Annie Onion- Teresa Chase

Larry the Cucumber/Larry-Boy- Nightman

Chief Scallion- Jack The Ripper

BOB: Hey, kids, welcome to Veggietales! I’m Bob the Tomato!

LARRY: And I’m Larry the Cucumber!

BOB: And we’re here to help! *pulls out letter*

LARRY: Hey, Bob, what’ve you got there?

BOB: We got a letter here from a girl named Jennifer

LARRY: Didn’t we already get a letter from her last week concerning her friend Allison? They had trouble getting along?

BOB: That’s not really important right now.

LARRY: It sure seems a lot goes around NJ.

BOB: Larry, I think you mean “happens around.” LARRY: Sorry.

BOB: No need to apologize. We don’t always say what we mean.

LARRY: Yeah, I know. What’s going on here? BOB: She’s writing about her Dad. She says she loves him dearly, but doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with him about certain issues. Shortly after being rejected by Allison, they had a squabble about, well...

LARRY: About what? BOB: She doesn’t want to talk about it.

ARCHIBALD: *offscreen* Well, surely I can be of assistance here!

LARRY: Who’s that?

BOB: Sounds like Archibald to me. LARRY: Archie?

BOB: Yes, Larry, he does these things. Let me go see what he’s up to-

*Bob bounces up to look for ARCHIBALD.*

ARCHIBALD: *coming up to the tabletop* Yes, it’s me Archibald, your friendly neighborhood asparagus. This young lady is having problems with her father, I presume? BOB: Well...yeah.

ARCHIBALD: Well, I’ve heard of him. Quite fond of his work!

BOB: Wha-?

ARCHIBALD: How can I resist a man who makes a living studying about my culture? Now, I have a little something they might be interested in.

BOB: What is it?

ARCHIBALD: Oh, just a little something we Gen-Xer’s are fond of.

LARRY: Gen- what- errss?

BOB: Is it Monty Python?

ARCHIBALD: No, this one is a tad more obscure. Couldn’t last one season, ha! It featured a vegetable who could turn into plants to fight crime. Now, that’s not quite how I remember it-

BOB: I see. Now, can we PLEASE roll the show?

ARCHIBALD: Well, if you insist. Roll film!

*Show begins with a scene reading “Vegemorph,” then abruptly cuts to CHIEF SCALLION terrorizes a defenseless young leak. In a fit of fury, ARCHIBALD transforms into a series of vines- accepting defeat, CHIEF SCALLION immediately leaves the scene. Dusting himself off, ARCHIBALD transforms back into his normal self.*

ARCHIBALD: Ah! What a night. And to think I almost missed my daughter Jessica’s graduation.

*The scene abruptly cuts to Jessica-as-Annie’s graduation. She’s trying to enjoy herself, but looks apprehensive as she notices the abscence of her father. The film focuses on LARRY, who is videotaping the whole scene.*

LARRY: So here we have my friend Jessica, ready to graduate from a school with monkey bars- AHHH!

*Suddenly, LARRY trips and falls, bringing down the video camera with him. The other vegetables say nothing, but merely look in disgust, including ANNIE.*

ANNIE: This never would’ve happened if Dad was here.

*Suddenly, Annie pulls out her flip phone to call her father, which immediately goes to voicemail, much to her annoyance.*

ARCHIBALD: Hello, it’s me Jonathan. Please leave a message after the *BEEP.*

ANNIE: Dad, where are you right now? This is my graduation, and you’re missing it! *Scene cuts to a proud-looking Archibald in the city, when suddenly, his phone goes off.*

ARCHIBALD: Oh dear, it looks as though my cellular device has gone off. Hope I haven’t missed anything too important!

*Scene cuts to ARCHIBALD checking out his cell phone, when suddenly, his daughter’s angry voicemail starts playing.*

ARCHIBALD: Oh dear. It looks as though I’ve missed my daughter’s graduation. Perhaps I could use this crystal to teleport myself there-

*Suddenly, LARRY THE CUCUMBER comes onto the scene.*

LARRY: What’s that you got there?

ARCHIBALD: Um, who are you, if I may ask?

LARRY: Oh, me? Don’t you remember me? I’m Larryboy. If you don’t recognize me, it’s because I’ve made a few modifications to my suit.

ARCHIBALD: Pardon? LARRY: I’ve made a few modifications so that I can tune into the frequency of evil. That means I can hear evil thoughts.

ARCHIBALD: I see. How did you come into possession of this? And how might you use this for the good of the world?

LARRY: First off, it’s a long story. Second of all, you see that seemingly normal guy over there?

*LARRY points at CHIEF SCALLION, who has a seemingly nonchalant look on his face.*

ARCHIBALD: You’re a vegetable, you can’t point. I can’t see what you’re doing.

LARRY: Oh, sorry. Well, as it turns out, he’s rotten to the core. Just like the Bad Apple!

ARCHIBALD: Yes, I’m well aware of that. Got into an entanglement with him earlier.

LARRY: Oh, okay then.

ARCHIBALD: Very well then. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve missed one of my daughter’s engagements. I’m sure she’s very disappointed in me right now.

LARRY: Yeah, I was just there, trying to film it.

ARCHIBALD: You- what? But how on earth can you be in two places at once? LARRY: I’m Larryboy, I can do these things, okay?

ARCHIBALD: I see. Well, I better get going. Toodle-oo!

*LARRY says nothing, but merely looks at him, flabbergasted. Film cuts to a gymnasium, empty except for ARCHIBALD and ANNIE, the latter has a disgusted look on her face.

ARCHIBALD: Why, hello there, my dear.

ANNIE: You really should’ve been there, Dad.

ARCHIBALD: Now, Jessica, you know your father loves you and wants to be there for you, it’s just that his work makes it quite daunting for him to be there at the time.

ANNIE: Dad, it was my elementary school graduation. I’m not a little girl anymore, you should know that.

ARCHIBALD: Yes, sweetheart, but-

ANNIE: We should talk about this at home.

*Scene cuts to ANNIE and ARCHIBALD riding in the car, giving each other the silent treatment, then abruptly at ARCHIBALD’s mansion.*

ANNIE: Dad.

ARCHIBALD: Yes?

ANNIE: We need to talk.

ARCHIBALD: Well, okay then. What might be troubling you?

ANNIE: It seems as though your work has always infringed upon my life and made things worse for me.

ARCHIBALD: Look, sweetheart, if ever my work has troubled you, I’m sorry. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some business to attend to-

*ANNIE pulls a blanket over her head, and abruptly goes to sleep.*

ANNIE: Good-night, Dad.

*ARCHIBALD closes the door with a slight smile on his face.*

ARCHIBALD: Goodnight, darling. I love you dearly. My, she’s such a lovely girl.

*ARCHIBALD then leaves the scene to talk to LARRY, who is sitting on the couch.*

ARCHIBALD: Ah! I can’t believe I’ve forgotten about my guests. Yes, please make yourself at home.

LARRY: Now, about these cool powers- where’d you get them?

ARCHIBALD: Funny you should ask. Throughout my studies, I’ve become enamoured with the connection between vegetable and plant, and transformed myself into a specimen powerful enough to transcend those barriers, through a little secret I have here.

LARRY: Oh, cool! Can I look?

ARCHIBALD: I’m afraid this book contains secrets vegetable was not meant to know.

LARRY: But...you know about this.

ARCHIBALD: That’s not the point. The point is, throughout my studies, I’ve attempted to change the outcome of-

LARRY: Outcome of what?

ARCHIBALD: You didn’t let me finish my sentence.

LARRY: Oh sorry.

ARCHIBALD: That’s quite alright. Now, where was I? Oh, yes. In my attempts to bend history I’ve unleased a huge monster in the middle of history!

LARRY: He looks pretty normal-sized to.

ARCHIBALD: I meant that metaphorically-speaking.

LARRY: Isn’t there going to be a part where he transforms into a huge monster?

ARCHIBALD: Very funny.

*Suddenly, ANNIE comes downstairs.*

ANNIE: What’s going on here?

ARCHIBALD: Oh, don’t mind me. Just talking with a friend.

ANNIE: It sounds like you’re doing more than just talking with a friend.

ARCHIBALD: Well then it is, isn’t it? In that case, it’s time for you to go to bed...the sun has gone to bed and so must you...Goodnight, dear.

LARRY: I don’t mean to pry, but who was that girl you were talking to?

ARCHIBALD: Oh, her? That’s my daughter, Jessica. She’s been quite stingy at times. With evil men following her, who could blame her?

LARRY: Wha-?

ARCHIBALD: Never mind, it’s too elaborate for me to explain it to you.

*Scene cuts to ANNIE looking overheard, ARCHIBALD lurches toward her.*

ARCHIBALD: Now, Jessica, time for bed, there will be plenty of time for this in the morning.

ANNIE: Seriously Dad, can you explain this to me?

ARCHIBALD: I’ll explain in the morning, when you’re older, darling.

ANNIE: *talking behind door* Um...I am older.

ARCHIBALD: Where was I? Oh, yes. In my studies, I ‘ve done plenty of expereimenting, experimenting on plants, experimenting on myself, experimenting on time, etc. etc.

LARRY: I guess I do-

*Suddenly, CHIEF SCALLION appears in the window with a devious look on his face. The film cuts to LARRY and ARCHIBALD’s reactions, the former screams.*

ARCHIBALD: Oh dear.

SCALLION: Why, hello there, Professor. Didn’t expect to see you here with your little friend.

LARRY: Hey, nobody calls me his little friend!

SCALLION: Oh, that’s adorable.

ARCHIBALD: No one calls him that either.

SCALLION: Anyway, you’re probably wondering why someone like me would come out of the blue, unexpected. It’s quite simple, really.

LARRY: That’s funny. My friend Archibald was explaining it to me just now.

SCALLION: Well, perhaps I could re-explain it to you and your little friend-

ARCHIBALD: Now, this is something I’ve warned about  before-

SCALLION: I see. Now, if you’ll excuse me-

*Suddenly, CHIEF SCALLION leaves the scene, which results in ANNIE screaming. Film cuts to ARCHIBALD’s reaction.

ARCHIBALD: Oh dear. What was that? I heard a noise.

*Scene cuts to ARCHIBALD noticing that ANNIE has been kidnapped by CHIEF SCALLION. In a fit of fury, he starts to transform in a fit of vines to entrap CHIEF SCALLION, while ANNIE looks over a ledge.*

ANNIE: Dad? Where are you, and what’s going on here?

*Scene cuts to CHIEF SCALLION trying to chase ARCHIBALD with a knife.*

SCALLION: Oh, nothing. I’m just trying to stop this beanbag here.

ANNIE: I always knew my dad’s life was weird.

ARCHIBALD: I heard that, sweetheart.

ANNIE: Um...sorry, Dad.

*The film immediately cuts to ARCHIBALD and ANNIE walking to a party.* ANNIE: Can I get a new dress? This one is really annoying and itchy.

ARCHIBALD: Now, Jessica, this is a very important event for your father. Hopefully there aren’t any hooligans running around.

*The film cuts to an Opera Singer singing.*

OPERA SINGER: You don’t know how it feels when you see me there...

Suddenly, CHIEF SCALLION appears out of the blue.

CHIEF SCALLION: Her great-grandmother escaped from my clutches. But surely, this one will be ripe for the plucking--

*Suddenly, SCALLION jumps up to kidnap OPERA SINGER, much to the shock of everyone, including ARCHIBALD and ANNIE.*

ARCHIBALD: Oh dear.

*Suddenly, CHIEF SCALLION drops OPERA SINGER and goes to talk to ARCHIBALD.*

CHIEF SCALLION: Why, hello there, Professor. What might you be doing here?

ARCHIBALD: What might you be doing here, dear sir?

CHIEF SCALLION: I snuck into your taxi while you were coming here. Hope you don’t mind.

ARCHIBALD: You did?

CHIEF SCALLION: Yes, I did.

*Scene cuts to ARCHIBALD in his taxi, when suddenly, CHIEF SCALLION jumps out.*

CHIEF SCALLION: Didn’t expect to see me here, didn’t you?

ARCHIBALD: I can tell you exactly where to go.

*Scene cuts to the present day.*

ARCHIBALD: Oh...right.

CHIEF: In any case, thank you for the free lift, Professor!

*CHIEF SCALLION abruptly leaves the scene. The film cuts to ARCHIBALD talking to LARRY.*

LARRY: Your squabble’s that bad?

ARCHIBALD: ‘Fraid so.

LARRY: Why does this guy hate you, anyway? Did you eat all of his cheese puffs or something?

ARCHIBALD: I’m afraid it goes much deeper than that. In that case, we should probably get a move-on- wait, where’s Jessica?

*Scene immediately cuts to ANNIE with CHIEF SCALLION.*

SCALLION: Your daddy can’t hear you now, darling!

LARRY: *offscreen* Oh, but I can.

SCALLION: #1: Pardon?

LARRY: Um...my new superpower lets me tune into the frequency of evil. Not sure why- there isn’t a lot of time to explain here. Just...let me work out the logistics here...

*The scene focuses on LARRY as he tries to focus on SCALLION.*

SCALLION #1: Can we hurry up here? I haven’t all day

LARRY: Neither do I. So, I guess you should probably hand over the girl. 

*Suddenly, ARCHIBALD appears next to LARRY.*

ARCHIBALD: You heard him.

SCALLION #1: Yes, I know I’ve got your daughter here, but really what’s the worst that can happen?

LARRY: Oh, are you in for a world for hurt!

ARCHIBALD: I think you mean “of” hurt.

LARRY: No, I mean “for” hurt. You heard me, vine-guy.

ARCHIBALD: Very funny.

LARRY: Now, where was I? Let’s do-

*Suddenly, a big ball of violence appears as ARCHIBALD and LARRY start fighting SCALLION, the former transforming into vines to stop him. Suddenly, ANNIE appears on the scene with a perplexed look on her face. Archibald transforms back into his regular self.*

ARCHIBALD: Why, hello there. Don’t mind your father, he’s got into a bit of an entanglement here?

*ANNIE says nothing, but merely rolls her eyes. The scene cuts to ANNIE walking downstairs to her father’s lab, when suddenly, he appears out of the blue.*

ARCHIBALD: Oh, hello Jessica. Didn’t expect you to find out this way.

ANNIE: Find out what?

ARCHIBALD: Well, did you know how some organisms can change from one form to another?

ANNIE: Yes, Dad, it’s called “shapeshifting.” ARCHIBALD: That’s right, Jessica. Plenty of cultures have legends and stories about such art. Of course, if I’d explain all of them, we’d be here all day!

ANNIE: Okay, why do you care? Can you do that?

ARCHIBALD: Well, it’s quite an interesting story. Throughout my studies, I’ve been studying my roots to see if I could transform back into a plant. Perhaps you could do so, as well?

ANNIE: What?

ARCHIBALD: Why shouldn’t us, the most complicated organisms on the planet, be capable of growing thorns and vines?

ANNIE: I....can kind of see what you’re getting at here?

ARCHIBALD: Lovely! Glad we’re on the same page.

ANNIE: Not really. I’m just lsitening because I have no choice here.

ARCHIBALD: Pardon?

ANNIE: Never mind.

ARCHIBALD: Jessica, darling, because of my experiments, I’m sure you’re more than capable of transforming yourself. Perhaps in a moment of great stress, I’m not sure.

ANNIE: Whatever, Dad.

*Suddenly, SCALLION appears, ANNIE screams in terror.* SCALLION: Hope your father doesn’t mind me kidnapping here-

*ARCHIBALD tries to fight, but fails, SCALLION eventually succeeds in kidnapping him.*

SCALLION: Oh, hello there, ANNIE. Daddy’s here to see you.

*Scene cuts to ANNIE’s reaction.*

SCALLION: Oh, Annie? It’s rude to keep people waiting.*

Suddenly, ANNIE starts transforming into an entanglements of vines to stop SCALLION; the film cuts to him with an annoyed look on his face as she encircles around him.*

ARCHIBALD: You should’ve known better than to mes with the princess of the plant kingdom, or should I say, my own daughter.

SCALLION: Very funny. Now, will you please get me out of this entalgment? It’s really hurting me.

ARCHIBALD: Oh, I’d love to, but since you’ve taken a liking to terrorizing my own friends, I’m afraid I’ll have to revoke your offer.

*SCALLION says nothing, but merely gives him a disgusted look. Suddenly, LARRY apears, flying  overheard, when suddenly, he hears ANNIE’s voice.*

ANNIE: You have nothing to hear from us. We are one and the same. 

LARRY: Wow, this “evil-detecting sensor” is better than I thought!

ANNIE: Actually, it’s just me, Jessica.

ARCHIBALD: Well, if it isn’t my brave little girl there?

ANNIE: Oh, Dad, it was nothing.

ARCHIBALD: Now, that’s what they all say. But what you did was far more than “Nothing” so to speak.

LARRY: Yeah, you were awesome out there!

*CHIEF SCALLION merely scoffs in disgust.*

ARCHIBALD: So, sweetheart, what do you think? Is your father pretty “cool” after all?

ANNIE: Oh, you Dad!

ARCHIBALD: Tell you what. We’re all going out to eat. It’s on me!

*Suddenly, one of ARCHIBALD’s plants slaps ANNIE. She appears with a look of disgust, then laughs along with everyone else; Film abruptly cuts to countertop.*

LARRY: I don’t get it. What was that supposed to be a parody of, anyway?

ARCHIBALD: Oh, some old show I used to watch on the telly as a young sprout. Not sure why they never reran it- that actor was such a charmer!

BOB: Yeah, I don’t get it.

ARCHIBALD: I heard that! Now, QWERTY, could you please assist us with a Bible quote about the importance of family?

*Suddenly, the screen cuts to QWERTY who supplies the Bible Quote, read by Archibald: "Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." EXODUS 2012.”

ARCHIBALD: Absolutely beautiful. Now, Jennifer, I understand that you and your father might not always get along, but I’m sure he loves you dearly and just wants the best for you. Toodle-oo! *ARCHIBALD hops off the screen*

LARRY: I still don’t understand what show that was supposed to be parodying.

BOB: Me neither. Well, in any case, bye Jen! Hope to see you later! LARRY: Yeah, bye, Jen!
