TRAINING THE LITTLE SAVAGE
Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it - his bottle, his mother’s attention, his playmate’s toy, his uncle’s watch. Deny him these once, and he seethes with rage and

After dying, there were three friends, Robert, Sam and Tim who woke up outside of heaven. And St. Peter says that before any can enter, they have to pass through a muddy bog. All those who pass through this muddy bog sink in proportion to the amount of unconfessed sins they had when they died.

During World War II when sugar was scarce a man went into a diner and asked for a cup of coffee.
“Sugar or cream, the waitress asked?”
“Sugar,” he replied. Since the sugar was so scarce, she kept it under the counter. The man put in 2 heaping teaspoons full of sugar, tasted it and said, “I need

I am sure all of us had our fair share of being disrupted, disparaged or discouraged by rude behavior such as insults, curses, or gossip.
Three pastors went to the pastor’s convention and were all sharing one room. The first pastor said, “Let’s confess our secret vices one to another. I’ll start

A colleague was invited to hold a speech in Japan. Aware of his reputation as a very good speaker, he was surprised that his audience did not react at all to any of his perfectly timed jokes and witticisms. In fact, the audience did not react to anything he said. Somewhat put down, he went back to

ADMITTING YOUR WEAKNESSES
When I got out of college I went to many interviews but I didn’t get a ministry! I was talking to one of my professors about this, and I admitted that I did not do well at interviews. He said just admit this at your next interview!
I did at the next one! As soon as

AIM HIGHER
Several years ago I read where some mountain hunters had played a trick on another hunter in their COON CLUB. They lowered the sight on his rifle.
After they did this their friend was missing everything at which he was shooting. He shot at a raccoon in a tree. Of course his bullet went

I was reading Outdoor Life the other day while waiting to get my allergy shot and came across an interesting story. It was in a section entitled, "This Happened to Me."
A turkey hunter had successfully called in a big gobbler within shooting range and shot the turkey. He picked up his trophy

There were six people trapped in a dark, cold cave. They each had a stick of wood. The fire in the middle of the cave was starting to go out. The first woman refused to put her wood in the fire because there was someone she didn’t like in the circle. The next man held onto his stick of wood

"I ride the bus!"
My wife works in a Middle School. The job can be … let’s say challenging … sometimes. But she got tired of complaining whenever people asked how school was going. (Maybe that scripture in Philippians 2 had something to do with it: Do everything without complaining or arguing.)

WHY NOT ME?
I watched a TV show called, "What Would You Do?" They put actors into everyday situations with hidden cameras to see heat the people around will do.
Last week they sent an actor into a grocery store. The actor asks to cut in line. When he gets up to the check out, lights and music

"Many, I am afraid, think that being a Christian is primarily just a personal individual thing, like something that will benefit me. Even a church can be a very selfish venture if it is meant only to enhance the members. A congregation is not a religious club run for the benefit of the members."
