"Welcome, Brothers and Sisters! Welcome to my Holy Pentecostal Church of the Pleistocene Revival!" declared Woolly Mammoth.

"My Sermon today is on an ancient text, yet very topical for the times. Today I speak on the 133 rd Psalm. Who is here today, to hear the word of God?"

"Kentrosaurus is here!" declared Kentrosaurus. "You will speak the truth, as I know you to be a prophet of the Most High."

"We also have as a guest my cousin Wuerhosaurus, who has floated forthrightly all the way from China in his slow boat."

"Thank you for the introduction, Cousin," said Wuerhosaurus.

"I had to start out in August, but I made it in time. My good old boat is good, but she's slow." said Wuerhosaurus."As a Buddhist, I feel the path to self fulfillment comes from a deep and personal introspection but I have come to spend this season visiting my cousins, so I am here to hear this sermon, knowing that there are many paths to the same Source."

"How interesting that you should bring this up given the topic of the Sermon this morning," observed Woolly Mammoth.

"Quagga is here as well," said Sister Quagga. "At this festive time of year it is pleasant to be among friends."

"Western Black Rhino is present, too. I'm adjusting to this being extinct thing, but I really don't like it. I think maybe a good sermon will cheer me and be uplifting."

"We also have visiting from New Zealand, a flock of Upland Moa Birds," observed Quagga.

"Welcome,one and all!" said Woolly Mammoth.

"We are glad to be here, thank you for having us," said Upland Moa.

"Kentrosaurus, where are Lexovissaurus and Loricatosaurus?" asked Woolly Mammoth.

"Lexovissaurus and Loricatosaurus are not here; they are visiting Canada."

"Where is Stegosaurus?" Woolly Mammoth rejoined his interlocutor.

"He is studying for a test in his college class," replied Kentrosaurus.

"Very well," replied the Woolly Preaching Pachyderm. "Let the sermon begin, my children."

To which, the congregation replied, "Amen."

"I want to talk to you this morning about the 133 rd Psalm. Though written by King David in ancient times, it is very current and speaks to us today. If we listen, it can help us, indeed. Let me explain to you now, my brothers and sisters in Christ."

To which, the congregation replied, "Amen."

"When you consider the world today, all the divisions, the polarized contentions, errors so strong in conviction that listening and learning is seemingly impossible, it is well to remember the words of this Psalm. In frustration you may think, what can I do, when no one will listen, and you know you are not the one in error? Take comfort in this ancient yet timely advice:

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" For beyond this mortal coil, higher above than the cold land of extinction, is a holy land of peace and brotherhood that heals divisions, that opens the ears that were stopp'd and the eyes that were blinded to see the Grace .... the Holy Grace of the Most High God Jesus Christ who will come to those who suffer and who are downtrodden and say, " Come. When you have accepted me, you will know peace and you will be one in the heart of the Father! AMEN! Can I hear you say it with me, AMEN! AMEN! Brothers and sisters, Amen!

To which, the congregation replied, "Amen!"

"You can make that world a part of your daily life here and now by accepting Christ Jesus into your heart! By this small concession you have the power to bring about without that which you see within: The Blessings of Jesus the Christ redeemer of mammal and dinosaur alike!

Verily, I say unto you brothers and sisters, "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even priestly Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" For we all are touched by Grace and become ONE with the Lord. I said, ONE with the LORD JESUS! Amen! Can I get an Amen?"

To which, the congregation replied, "Amen!"

"And then you will know, and then, you will see clearly now that which had been hidden by the concerns of the mortal world. The Christ within. That is within all of us and waiting to come out. This ointment runs down my wool, it can run down your fur, down your feathers, and down your scales too! Embrace the Lord! Embrace PEACE! Verily I say unto you that, there WILL be life forever more! The Bible assures me! The Holy Word of GOD Himself!"

To which, the congregation replied, "Amen!"

"Now the question remains, my brothers and sisters, how do we create that frame of mind here, on this planet? How do we bring this time closer to now than speaking of some time and some place in the future? I tell you all now, this feeling you have in your soul, in your heart, can be brought to the mortal world! The Kingdom of Heaven can be in the here and now!"

To which, the congregation replied, "Amen!"

"I say unto you that if you reflect that soul of the Christ within, those around you will feel the love and hope that the Lord provides, and thus, people will voluntarily choose to emulate you!"

To Which, the congregation replied, "Amen!"

"Reflect not a world of hate, discrimination, a fixation on particular verses of The Book to the exclusion of others; you don't have to agree with the choices a fellow creature makes to love them; to show them the example of love and forgiveness which is the soul of what it means to be CHRISTIAN. Be this, and others will see it."

"Where you see love, you are love. When you are love, you reflect the person of Christ Jesus. All the paths converge...."

"And we shall all live together in unity on that Holy day! Can I get an Amen, brothers and sisters? AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN to the Lord Jesus CHRIST!"
