Random Thought

Iron sharpens iron.

Godliness with contentment is great gain.

(This is a variation of an old Joke)
An old miser on his death bed called in three clergymen and said, “Gentlemen, I know you all believe in the saying that ‘you can’t take it with you.’ Well, I’m going to prove you all wrong. Under my mattress you will find three envelopes. Each contains $30,000. I want you to take one now and then throw it into the grave at my funeral.” At the funeral, each through his envelope into the grave. As they left the cemetery, one minister, the young Pentecostal, said, “I don’t feel right about this… I’ve got something to confess. My church gave me $10,000 for a trip overseas and I decided to take $10,000 of that miser’s so that my wife could come with me. I only through in $20,000.
Then the Scottish Presbyterian confessed, ‘I needed money for some extensions to my church. I’m sorry to say I kept $20,000 and through in $10,000.”
The older wiser Anglican minister replied. “Why I’m shocked and ashamed of you both. How could you withhold that money! Why, I threw in a personal cheque for the full amount.”

Have you ever..

I attended an in-service training day today and played a game called "Have you ever..." It helps people get to know each other and goes like this: everyone sits in a circle. Leader says, "Have you ever ...been over seas?" and all those who have been overseas swap places on the chairs. After a few such sentences and changes the leader joins in and takes a seat. The person left standing has to call the sentence to be completed. A lot of fun.
