"Disciples are producers not consumers."
- Mike Breen
An amateur photographer was invited to dinner with friends and took along a few pictures to show the hostess. She looked at the photos and commented "These are very good! You must have a good camera."
He didn't make any comment, but, as he was leaving to go home he said,
"That was a really delicious meal! You must have some very good pots."
Preachers are the absolute worst people to listen to sermons. So here is the prayer I use to prep myself:
Lord, save me from compare, contrast, critique. Move me from cerebration to celebration. Free me to hear You in and through your messenger today. Amen.
– Leonard Sweet
One day at the veterinarian's office where I take my dog, the receptionist and a man were verbally sparring with one another. After a few tense moments, a technician came to her co-worker's defense.
"Sir," she interjected, "are you aware of what happens to aggressive males in this office?"
On the road one day, a man and a woman smashed their cars together in a terrible car wreck. Both vehicles were totaled, but fortunately neither person was injured.
The woman said to the man, "Thank goodness we're both okay! We should celebrate. I have a bottle of wine in my car, so let's open it and toast the fact that we survived this wreck."
The man agreed and the woman opened the bottle of wine and handed it to him. He took a huge swallow and handed it back. The woman closed the bottled and set it down by his car. The man asked, "Aren't you going to take a drink?"
"No," the woman said. "I think I'll just wait for the cops to get here."
