At 9 a.m. tomorrow God will appear in the village square and list all the sins of all you sinners on the public bulletin board." I'd driven over 500 miles through fog the day before. As 1 sat in the small, backwoods church listening to the young minister preach, my eyes wouldn't focus, my mind kept wandering. Miserable Thoughts But when I heard that announcement whango, bango I was awake, really awake.

And, folks, I sure hate to reveal the miserable thoughts that went through my mind those first few seconds. Is this just for the natives? If so, I'm sure going to be down at that square first thing in the morning to watch all those funny looks on all those funny faces. Gee, there'll probably be some sins listed there I've never even heard of befoie. Wowee! What great fun! No, God doesn't work that way. He'll have sent for my dossier all the way from Nebraska and there I'll be right at the top of the list.

He'll probably make me wear a name tag just so everybody can point me out. Gosh, this ain't no fun at all Hey! Which of my sins will be listed up there? Did He see me last night when I went around to the back door of the local fish market after it was closed and talked that young man into selling me a four pound trout. I'm a finagler and a manipulator I really am If Saint Peter won't let me in heaven's front gate, knowing me. I'll go around to the back and try to "snow" Saint Francis or one of the other "softies" into sneaking me in that way. Why can't I just accept things the way they are? Why can't I say, "Thy will be done" and let it go at that 9 Hey, did God catch that quick thought that flashed through my mind when I saw that cute little waitress at Ames.

Oh, no! For years I've fooled all those readers in Nebraska into thinking I'm an upright, religious sort of guy and now this comes out. I'm through ruined! No, it's even worse than that. The minister said all sins! Good grief! This is the end the absolute end. I'll steal me a boat at the closest marina on Lake Superior (yet another sin) and just sail off the end of the world Attention Getter Bingo' At that precise moment the young minister was admitting his announcement was given merely to catch the congregation's attention. My icky.

miserable sins will remain my own deep, dark secret. Halleluiah! The minister was now talking about absolution. If I'd just ask for forgiveness, I'd be forgiven. And, most important, my sins would be forgotten. What a deal: As I alked back to my lodgings.

I fell into another reverie. If God does post that list in every village square in the world. I'm going to make it big. I'm going to get me the parking concession around all those churches where all those sinners go to ask for forgiveness and to have their sins forgotten But there I go again conniving, finagling, wheeler dealenng Josie Hinds Marks 100th Arapahoe Josie A.
