A little while after ivory told me he would be going, he explained that there have only been two other times when God had spoken to him so clearly. When he was younger, he told me, he had clearly heard Jesus tell him "Come and know me", and he did so obediently. As a junior in high school, he knew that Jesus was telling him "Go and serve me with Showbread." And he was obedient once again. And now, ten years later, the voice of his beloved God called to him again. This time the words were bittersweet as Jesus told him "Your work with Showbread is finished".The band will continue on without Mobley, supporting last's year's release The Age of Reptiles.

It would have been funnier if Jesus had told him his work with showbread was finished, and then they were all killed in a fiery bus crash.

"Come and know me" is a really creepy thing to say to a kid, even if you are Jesus. 2+ Replies
