This is an actual email from a friend

I happened upon a small church in Australia one Sunday morning with a new preacher who was preaching his third sermon of the morning. He had just left a 20-year career as a winemaker and convinced the elders that he could move handily from one spirit to another. By my account, he was a most fluid speaker.

This was from a friend: His wife asked him if he wanted to go to a fundraiser for the Alternatives Pregnancy Center.

His reply: I prefer the traditional way.

Speaking

I was going to speak to some Native Americans, but never got my plane tickets. It just didn't feel right. I guess I had reservations about making reservations to some reservations.

Walk a Mile

I read this the other day, so I don't deserve any credit/blame - except for sharing it:

Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you will be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

You know You Are Getting Old When . . .

True incident: Just before Thanksgiving, Lisa & I had dinner with my brother and two cousins and their families. As the adults sat around talking, the benefits of AARP membership was discussed for several minutes without anyone snickering. Uh oh.
