Moses had his burning bush. George W. had his enlightenment after years of alcoholism. The Lord does work in mysterious ways.... and I now believe he is calling to me via email:
FW: Proceed With Your Ordination
Become a legally ordained minister within 48 hours
As a minister, you will be authorized to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church! Perform Weddings, Funerals, and Perform Baptisms Forgiveness of Sins and Visit Correctional Facilities
Want to open a church? Check out Ministry in a Box
Well thank you, God. You know I shun the phone and don't get out much. Email was certainly the easiest way to find me (And I rent so lighting up a bush would have effected my security deposit.). I accept, I guess. I have to check with the wife first on sending you the cash. I think she has an eye on some lime green sandals. Maybe I could get sandals too as I preach your good word.
So now with my new religious leadership I must find a flock (Unfortunately even though your web page states "MARRY your BROTHER, SISTER, or your BEST FRIEND!!" I won't be able to do that as I have no siblings and my best friends don't like me in THAT way.).
I guess to get a flock I should buy the Ministry in a Box kit. I couldn't find in the small print anywhere if this comes with an actual building for my services. Did Robert Schuller get his Crystal Cathedral this way?
I bet I need to raise funds too... how do I get one of those television shows?. I would prefer to have one with babes hotter than Tammy Faye... something along the lines of the "Juggies" of Man Show fame.
Can I serve more than wine? Is there an "Official Mixed Drink of Christ?" (Please don't let it be the Bloody Mary! Please!)
I probably should start recruiting now, right?
Okay. So here goes. If you want to belong to my Church (denomination and beliefs as yet to be determined... maybe we could have a keggar to figure it out) please use my contact form and let me know that you are in. I bet this is how the Reverend Governor Howard Dean M.D. got started.

alternatively, get a free ordination in the Universal Life Church
(http://www.yourscidesigns.com/rev/)
and you will be reverend! then you could charge to perform weddings, funerals, etc.
Assuming the laws in your state/county/country allow for it
(check the FAQ at http://www.nettally.com/hasmith/ulc/ulcfaq.htm)

Thanks for giving me a laugh, Brian. I wish I could write something as funny about all those damn penis enlargement emails I get.
