Bible Junkie
(a skit by Issac Air Freight)

I have a confession to make. ... um ... I'm a junkie. ... A Bible junkie

uh... It all started, I was sitting in the park, I saw a little black book sitting underneath the bench and I ... uh ... I picked it up and thumbed through it. It was a pocket size New Testament. I ... I thumbed through it some more and then I did it. I ... uh ... I read a verse. ... uh ... Don't ask me why! Cause Lord knows I didn't want to! But ... uh ... I read a verse it was in Matthew.

Within a couple of days I was through Mark and Luke and heading towards John. It was just the start though. I ... I went on to bigger things. I read a full King James with concordance. I went out and got about eight different Bibles and I stashed them everywhere, my drawers, my car, the water cooler at work. I couldn't ... I couldn't get through the day without the word. That's addicts slang for the Bible.

Well ... I was doing ok and then one day ... I did it. I went up to the mountains and I forgot my Bible. ... um ... It's hard to talk about now. I ... I got the shakes and ... uh ... I broke out in a cold sweat. ... um ... I might not have made it if I hadn't found a Boy Scout who read me John 3:16 for four hours straight.

Well ... Pretty soon my so called friends found out about it. I mean I was reading a lot but I wasn't blind. All of a sudden I didn't get invited to "those" kind of parties any more. College newspaper voted me most likely to become a nun. Didn't bother me though. ... Really didn't bother me until a couple months ago this girl I liked ... Her dad said he didn't want his daughter going out with my kind of guy. Yeah! My kind of guy! ... Um ... Like I had a disease or something. I ... uh ... I don't know how he found out. He must have seen my tracks.

Didn't stop me though. Just got me deeper into it. I started pushing. I started getting other people hooked. Yeah! I know what you're thinking. I'm a real sicko! A real Scum! ... Well hey! I've been to doctors and they couldn't help. They put me on dosages of Awake. It put me to sleep. I didn't know where to turn. My friends couldn't help. My girl left me.

Then one day I slowed down and ... uh ... instead of just reading the Bible, I ... uh ... started believing it. And then as if believing wasn't enough I started living it. All of a sudden I realized I didn't have a problem any more. Cause it didn't matter what my friends, my girls dad, or the doctors thought of me. All that matters is that Jesus loves me. And that right there is so neat. I'm proud not to just be a Bible junkie, But a Jesus junkie. I'm hooked, but I'm hooked on the real thing. Thank You.
