Lou Costello was part of the comical team “Abbott and
Costello” years ago in the 1950s. They
are best known for their baseball comic skit “Who’s on first” But Lou, wanted to be boxer in his early days
but his parents did not want to pursue it.
He was caught fighting at school and his teacher made him write on the
Chalk board, “I am a Bad boy” over 100 times.
Well, Lou pursed the boxing fight behind his parent's back
and he won many fights. He used another
name to hide his identity so that his parents would not find out. Until a big fight came to town for Lou and Lou’s
uncle invited his Dad to see the fight.
Lou’s Dad did not recognize the name and did not care about the fight
but he went anyway. To his surprise it was his son and Lou won the fight. Later Lou would met with his parents and
they showed their great disapproval. Lou
gave up boxing and pursued another in acting and comedy. Where he made a great
career. But one of Lou’s favorite lines
in many skits would the line he learned from a child, “I am a bad boy”
Some of us in the Baby Boomer generation remember the comedy of
Abbott and Costello, their skits are on the internet. I heard this story from a Paul Harvey and the
“Rest of the story” and God moved on heart and mind.
There are many things that can make us drop our head and make
us feel bad with regret, but the Good Lord is a Lifter up of our head, as He has the Lift
we need. The Psalmist and usually David said,
“Thou, that Lifts up my head” Psa.3:3 He found that hope and Help in the Lord.
Dear Friend, you too can find that hope and help. Call on
the Lord today. For whosever shall call
on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For with the heart man believes and
with mouth confession is made. Want you call on Him today??
God Bless you,
Rev. Dan
