Joke Explained

I decided that I can't just leave you hanging on the meaning of "I have a job for you." So here is the explanation.

I went to a men's conference with my dad and brothers a while back. It was pretty boring except for the very last speaker, Ken Graves. His message was about how it's not a bad thing when God calls you to do something.

Most of the time when we think of God calling us to do something, we think, "Ug, it's going to be so boring. I'm going to have to give up all my fun things." But that's not the case. Ken went to the Bible to analyze the very first time that God called someone to do something. He went all the way back to Adam in the Garden of Eden.

Think about it. Adam's job was to populate the earth.

God creates Eve, beautiful, tender, sensual, a perfect match for Adam. God then takes Adam by the shoulder, looks over at Eve, looks back at Adam, and says, "I have a job for you."

Hahaha, go get 'em Adam. It's not a bad thing to be called by God. ;)
