During a grueling day of waiting tables on one of the busiest days in the restaurant business, Valentine’s Day I found this note on my table:

All this time I thought that famous quote from the Bible explained why God sacrificed Jesus, so that we may be forgiven for our sins.
Turns out he did it for couples and waiters on Valentine’s Day. Who knew?
I am a bit concerned though. Does this mean God’s new marketing strategy is a tie-in between secular holidays and religion?

Oh God no. If it was then this post would have had a completely different topic matter and tone. :)

Whew. Had me worried there for a minute.
I had someone leave me the KamaSutra once as a tip.

I think the message would have been a lot stronger with a box of chocolates taped to it.

I think you’re one cynical dude, aren’t you? This was probably from a little girl and now you’re mocking her (and her faith!!!) on the Interwebs. Jeez, in every sense of the word. ;)

I see it a little differently. A little girl drew a really cool picture. Mom ruined it by writing on top. The girl tore off the part she wanted and you got left the trash.
Now that’s cynical.

I would have preferred to read… “God so loved his waiter that he gave his only c-note.” Now THAT would make a good Valentine!

What if he didn’t love the world… he just really wanted to get rid of Jesus?

@Snigs: Did they offer to do it with you too? That would have been one hell of a tip.
@Tiggy: Isn’t it always though? hehe
@Rambler: It was and I made fun of her right in front of her parents ala Maddox. That’s how I roll.
@Les: Actually it was the Mom that drew the picture and it was horrible. I hung it up in the kitchen so we could all make fun of it.
@Jeff: I highly concur. Would have made $320 instead of $220.
@Alex: I guess God changed his mind thirty years later.

That God, he’s such a prankster. Why else would he allow reality TV?

I have the stigmata. That God, he sure is a joker!

Actually, I left you the note. I’m John….and I was letting you know what time it was.
