THE GRAY AREA

I heard a story about a 90-year-old grandfather who was complaining to his grandson about getting old. He said, "The worst part is the diapers." He continued, "I don’t mind wearin’ them, it’s just the name I hate. Depends! If I have to wear a diaper, I don’t want there to be any ’depends’ about it. I want for sure!"

It would be good if everything was "for sure," but it’s not.

When it comes to some things, it depends.

(From a sermon by Monty Newton, "Navigataing the Gray Areas" 1/30/2009)
