"When I played online, I consistently lost money. Hundreds of dollars gone. After consulting with Father Ashley, I really started to see some of the holes in my playing style. He was friendly and welcoming of all my questions, a born teacher and eager to share his advice. Admittedly, I lost another $40 while playing with Father Ashley when all of my straight and flush draws consistently missed. He assured me that this was just a fluke, though. And he was right. Since my session with Father Ashley, I have more than made back both my losses during the session as well as the hundreds of dollars I had lost up until that point. All of this as a result of a one hour session with him. Just one hour."

Brother Hank asks for a prayer after missing out on a real night of joy

Dear Father Ashley,

I bumped into Scarlet Johannsen the other day and she challenged me to a game of strip poker with her and some of her friends. Imagine my anguish when I had to turn her down because I don't know how to play poker. Please pray for me!

Yours faithfully,

Brother Hank

Dear Brother Hank,

Ah, you made the age-old error so uncommon in males: admitting our ignorance. The world is full of men driving in circles because they can't ask for directions; losing money daily at Internet poker sites because they can't admit they need help with their game; and asking their wives and girlfriends if they are having a good time in bed, because they're too weak to admit they have never heard of the clitoris.

What you should have said was: "Sure, I'd love to play. I might need some help brushing up on the rules...", or better yet: "I'll come along and you guys start, I'll pick up the game from seeing you play with each other."

Perhaps the Church of Texas Holdem should open a strip poker hall... I get the feeling we're not controversial enough.

Of course I'll pray for you. And keep coming back to the Church. Send all your friends, including Scarlet, if you see her again!
