Light On Dark Water

I don’t mean to pretend that I feel a deep personal loss at the death of comedian Bernie Mac; celebrities die frequently and I don’t feel obliged to note their passing. I did watch his sitcom sometimes, although I’m generally not a fan of sitcoms, and he was sometimes very funny, and seemed a decent man, and I’m sorry he died so young.

But I’m posting this mainly to pass along this line: in one episode a group of people from his church has come to live with him, I don’t remember why, and Bernie Mac says at length to the ranking clergyman: “Bishop, you gettin’ on my nerves in the name of the Lord.”

I’ve had many occasions to recall that observation.
