LET THERE BE LIGHT ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!


It was a case of mistaken identity this morning at 7th and Montana as an Anonymous Missionary made the scene pushing a shopping cart filled with trash. I tried to avoid eye contact but he stopped at my table, anyway. "You!," he shrieked, "I'd know you anywhere ... You're Matthew!" Normally, I don't engage the Loons but today I needed a little extra time to get my Spycam up and running. "Nope," I said, "Guess again." "Luke," he cried. I shook my head. "Elijah?!?" He was grasping at Biblical Straws. "My name is Ezekiel," I said. "Ahh," he replied, knowingly, "Gotta light?" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. "I'm sorry, I don't have any matches on me," I said, "But I hear there's a Burning Bush in front of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Wilshire!" For the record, there's actually a fire pit there. I just hope when he arrives, he goes inside and buys something. Lord knows they could use a little Prophet ...!

I'd put money on a bet that he heard the burning bush speak to him.
