Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Today’s “Throwback Thursday” is from Wednesday, August 26, 2020. That’s it! They’ve finally gone too far with this cornoavirus safety stuff. Kentucky Fried Chicken has just suspended their iconic 64-year-old slogan, “It’s finger licking good.” Why did they suspend the iconic phrase? Because the slogan is not COVID safe. Now to my knowledge, when one eats KFC chicken, he licks his own fingers—not someone else’s. As long as you’ve washed your hands before eating, like your momma taught you, licking your own fingers won’t increase your risk of infection. If, however, you are licking other people’s fingers, you deserve what you get. I don’t know if Jesus ever licked His fingers, but I do know He used His fingers powerfully on at least 3 occasions: first to write something on the ground when the adulterous woman was brought to Him for sentencing; second when He healed a deaf man by putting His fingers in the deaf man’s ears, and third when He cast out a demon in Luke 11:20 by what He called, “the finger of God.” Fingers are an amazing creation of God that most of us take for granted. Whatever you do with your fingers, glorify God with them and use them to point others to the Creator and Savior.
