Thought I'd let my doctor check me,
'Cause I didn't feel quite right. . .
All those aches and pains annoyed me
And I couldn't sleep at night.

He could find no real disorder
But he wouldn't let it rest.
What with Medicare and Blue Cross,
We would do a couple tests.

"Being a Christian is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will."

- Eric Metaxas, Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy

"To pray, 'Thy will be done,' I must be willing, if the answer requires it, that my will be undone."

- Elizabeth Elliot

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker.

One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound. He found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court.

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, "Your Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale." 

The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter?" 

The farmer replied "Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker."
