VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Excelsior! Really!?!

Philippians 3:14 KJV
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Bandy, You Should Be Feeling Quite Silly Right About Now! 

Why!?! 
What Did I Do!?! 

Exactly! 

Huh!?! 

You Didn't Do A Thing And That Is Your Problem! 

Oh, Brother! 

Tommy, If You Could See Your Way To Tell Him What You're Talking About 
And Stop Having It Be So Obscure
Perhaps He Could Defend Himself! 

Okay, Rudy! 

Alright, Bandy! 
Where Do You Work!?! 

I Work Right Here At Excelsior! 

And What Are You Always Talking About!?! 

I Talk About Excelsior! 

Yes, Bandy! 
Excelsior This, Excelsior That, Excelsior Will! 
Do You Know What Excelsior Means!?! 

Why Would I! 
It's Just A Name! 

Bandy, You Real Pitiful, You Know! 

Why!?! 
Because I Ain't Swallow A Dictionary Like You!?! 

Nope, Bandy! 
I Say That You Are Pitiful Because You Profess That 
You Are A Committed Christian
And 
You Are Always Belaboring Our Ears 
With The Topic Of Climbing The Ladder To Glory
Apostle Paul And Aiming For The Prize Of The Upward Call 
And Not Looking Back To What Was
But Focusing On What Will Be! 

Strangely, Though, You Have Not Seen Fit 
To Associate Your Christianity With The Meaning Of 
The Name Of Your Workplace! 

Tommy, Please Pardon Me For Asking
But How Do These Two Things Correlate!?! 

It's Simple My Young Friends: 
Apostle Paul Is Seeking The Prize Of The Upward Call 
And
Excelsior Means "Ever Upward!" 

Lord, Have Mercy! 

He Will! 
You All Refuse To Listen When I Tell You To Read A Book 
And To Understand That Nothing Is As It Appears! 

Tommy, You Are Right! 
I Feel Real Silly Right Now! 

No Need, Bandy! 
You Finally Got It Straight! 

Remember This Though:
Man Can Never Outrun The Lessons Of The Living Word! 

I Hear That! 

Peace!
