I just walked out of church with this phrase ringing in my head...something in the homily about cheerfulness and joy being marks of a true Christian and how anyone who is not cheerful probably doesn't really know Jesus. As a veteran curmudgeon myself I take exception to the notion that Jesus can somehow redeem a thief hanging on the cross but might have a problem with grumpy old men. Moreover, this is especially disappointing considering that many of the old men I know are grumpy at some time or other. (more...)
