Baptism and Fruit Juice

Baptism And The Devil's Brew

Here's something light....

?? Munusamy was baptized. The pastor dipped his head into water 3 times and said you are now baptized. Your sins are forgiven, you are a new creation in Christ, your name is  now Jacob. No more drinking of alcohol. Jacob went home and goes to his refrigerator, took all his alcohol bottles out, dipped them into water 3 times and said you're baptized, your sins are forgiven, you're a new creation in Christ, your name is now Fruit Juice.

Hohoho....

Munusamy or Jacob, looks like it mattered not....
A drinker he was and his baptism did not help....
A liking for liqueur was his failing before his baptism...
His weakness for the devil's brew was unabated after his baptism...
His sacrilegious bid as he rebranded his favorite drink....
Was merely an attempt to quell the voice of guilt within...
Munusamy or Jacob, like a leopard with all its spots.....
To be reborn a new man, it is not as easy as he might have thought....

Hohoho.....
