It sure did get everyone’s attention. Whether this is true or not, it is worth reading.
A Pastor went to the Reverend to heed advice because of his fear of talking in front of a lot of people. The Reverend told the Pastor his secret. He told the Pastor that he sips vodka before going up the pulpit.
The following week, the Pastor did what the Reverend told him. After the sermon, the Pastor noticed a note at his door.
1. Sip the Vodka, don’t gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12 and Jesus has 12 disciples, not 10.
3. Jacob wagered his donkey, not his ass.
4. The Father, Son and the Holy spirit are not referred to as the Daddy, Junior and the spook.
5. The recommended grace before eating meals is not, “Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, Oh yeah!”
and lastly,
6. Next sunday, there will be a taffy pulling contest on St. Peter’s. Not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy’s!
Hope that made your day! Lol!
I am sure that most of you have been on one, two or three trips to the beach and back already or maybe, spent many a day scrounging the malls and hunting for great bargains. That is what I love about summer but, unfortunately, that is not what I have been doing for the past few weeks. Just last week, I got sick and now, I am dumped again with more work!
You know what’s good here? Despite all of this, at the end of the day, I am learning to love my job the way a good angelic employee should be. If you are wondering where I drew my strength, here it is.
Hebrews 13:5-6 “Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things that you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you, nor forsake you,’ so that we may boldly say, ‘The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.’”
Some of us pray in the morning, others at night while some, before consuming their meals. It is spiritually correct to do all of those. But, have you ever wondered and analyzed yourself, if you do that out of thankfulness for something you got, like a meal or from your heart?
Isn’t it sad that some of us, question God at times? If we ask for something and we did not get it, we complain. If something fails, we complain. All negative things, we complain while all positive, we be thankful. Isn’t that two sided?
Rather than questioning God in what ever you have in mind, you should be thankful that you can worry, because it means, you can still think. I have this classic example. Somewhere in America, This famous football team lost a championship game. It was so important to them that all team members felt down and humiliated. After entering the locker room, the coach talked to them. “You should be thankful! In china, they don’t love football. It means, 1 billion people did not see us lose!”
That is what I am talking about. Being thankful in whatever circumstances will arise. Thanks Jonathan.
