Funny how a $20 bill looks so big when you take
it to church,
but so small when you take it to the market.
Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour,
but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church
are,
but how short they are when watching a movie.
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when
we pray,
but don't have difficulty thinking of things to
talk about to a friend.
Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes
into extra innings,
but we complain when a sermon is longer than the
regular time.
Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the bible,
but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling
novel.
Funny how people want to get a front seat at any
game or concert,
but scramble to get a back seat at church services.
Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to
fit a church event into
our schedule,
but can adjust our schedule for other events at
the last moment.
Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple
gospel well enough to
tell others,
but how simple it is for the same people to understand
and repeat gossip.
Funny how we believe what the newspaper say,
but question what the Bible says.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided
they do not have to
believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through
e-mail and they spread
like wildfire,
but when you start sending messages regarding the
Lord,
people think twice about sharing.
