Presentation transcript:

Why do banks charge you a "non- sufficient funds fee" on money they already know you don't have? Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it. The tasteless furniture donated by Mrs. Strumpf lasts forever, while key office equipment breaks down within eight months? The one who feels led to pray for you before service always has bad breath?

People at congregational meetings agree instantly about complex restructuring of the church ministry and argue endlessly over paper stock for the bulletins? Your shoelaces break and shirt buttons fall off only during the Sunday morning rush for church? The renowned guest speaker is hailed for his 'fresh and bright preaching' when everything he's said I've been preaching for months?

On the Sunday we finally sing Mr. Fusselmeier's favorite hymn, he isn't there? The issue I don't understand is the one point not covered in my commentaries? The one time my throat gets dry during preaching is the week someone forgot to change last week's water? I find the magazine with the perfect article the week after I’ve preached on a difficult topic?
