SUNDAY SMILE
Or would you be more like the woman who was bitten by a rabid dog, and it looked as if she was going to die from rabies. The doctor told her to put her final affairs in order. So, the woman took pen and paper, and began writing furiously. In fact, she wrote and wrote and wrote. Finally, the doctor said, “That sure is a long will you’re making.” She snorted, “Will, nothing! I’m making a list of all the people I’m going to bite!”
QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK
Adults: Have I ever complained because God was generous to others who in my opinion did not deserve it?
Children: Do I get upset when one of my friends gets something that I think I deserve?
