Mr. Caring, I need help. |
Prompter & Echoes |
It has him hooked! |
Caring |
Drugs? |
Takechance |
Gambling. Look at these cursed lottery tickets! |
Caring |
Yes you can, Mr. Takechance. |
Takechance |
Taking it? I have not stolen anything since I received Christ, Mr. Caring. |
Caring |
Not directly, but when you win a bet, you take it from someone else. |
Prompter & Echoes |
Someone always loses. |
Takechance |
Yeah, someone always loses and it’s usually me. |
Caring |
Gambling becomes a form of laziness, Mr. Takechance. |
Takechance |
I always hoped to win big, so I would not have to work anymore. |
Prompter & Echoes |
A busy ant! |

2Â Thessalonians 3:10-11 says, |
Takechance |
That me. Yes, I’ve seen gambling plunge addicts’ families into poverty. |
Caring |
Some men, after losing their family’s life savings, have committed suicide. |
Takechance |
I’ve thought about it. |
Caring |
I’ve been praying for you, Mr. Takechance. Now is the time for you to stop idolizing the goddess of luck. Will you trust God? Will you let me hold you accountable as long as you need it? |
Takechance |
Yes. Each week I’ll report my progress to you. Oh, praise God! |
Caring |
Then start right now. Here’s a match. Burn those lottery tickets! |
Takechance |
I’ll do it. Hear they go, up in smoke! Oh! I’ve been unshackled! |
Prompter & Echoes |
Freedom! |
