Uncle Gene has long practiced his belief that God speaks to him by what grocery stores put on sale. When food Uncle Gene likes goes on sale, he is compelled to buy and prepare it and give it to the people, much as God presented Moses with The 10 Commandments and directed him to share them with mankind.
Yesterday, acting on his holy mission, when Uncle Gene saw brisket was marked down sharply, he bought a 10 pound brisket and today, using all of his skills as a gourmet chef, began its preparation to be shared with others. But as the word of God's brisket command spread, one request after another came for brisket. Could there possibly be enough brisket?
According to the Gospel of John, in the "miracle of the five loaves and two fish" it is reported that Jesus fed 5,000 people from five small loaves of bread and two small fish. Could such a miracle happen for Uncle Gene and his 10 pound brisket?
The answer is YES! As if by divine direction the seemingly impossible command was met. If there would not be enough brisket, Uncle Gene could return to the grocery store and buy more. Unlike with Jesus, this profound event will never reach biblical stature but grateful people shall be fed, and as a result joyously multiple, at least as measured by the increasing size of their tummies.

Hilarious!
Who doesn't enjoy Uncle Gene's cooking, especially his briskets??? Can we get some religious jewelry made out of finely cooked on-sale beef? http://i.ebayimg.com/15/!B5OeeVwBGk~$%28KGrHqYOKi4EyZ%28fWP!ZBMs0SFN-cQ~~_35.JPG
