A NEW MAN AFTER THAT SERMON

The minister’s sermon on this particular Sunday was considerably longer than normal. However, it was so well prepared and inspiring that he just knew it would be a big hit with the congregation.

At the end of the service he stood shaking hands with the people as they exited. One man paused and said, "Preacher, your sermon was so invigorating and inspiring and refreshing."

As the minister broke out in a big smile, the man completed his comment by adding, "Why, I felt like a new man when I woke up!"
