THREE BONES IN CHURCH

Church members may be divided into three classes in a mere skeleton outline: wishbones, jawbones, and backbones. The wishbones are always languidly hoping that their church will somehow grow without their effort. The jawbones talk their way out of doing things, and the backbones get under the heavy burdens and carry them.

(Mrs. A. E. Janzen. From a sermon by Larry Wilson, Introduction to Joshua Part C, 8/6/2010)
