Why Border...?
Pastor Barry received a Chinese Christian newsletter yesterday in the church mail. It was a well-organized publication, trumpeting the work of God throughout the Chinese community in Vancouver. However, the main article caught Pastor B's eye. It was titled, "Why Border?" and had to do with all of the reasons that pastors do the work of the ministry, and encouraging them not to grow weary in doing good. He was scratching his head a bit, because the writer sprinkled the phrase "why border", seemingly at random, throughout the article. And the context made no sense because the author was not speaking about borders at all - geographically, culturally, or metaphysically.
Then Pastor Barry read the article again, out loud, in his best cantonese accent. "Why border" took on a whole new meaning! "Chinese ministry in the Vancouver area - Why BOTHER?" Ahhhh, sooooo! I usually write in a similar way to how I speak, but this author writes like he sounds!
I was going to water the lawn today, but this is the Lower Mainland so "why border?" Hmmm, it works with a Boston accent too....

So, does that make Mary the 'morder' of Jesus? And Tina 'Yorder's starred in Family Ties?
