Subject: Funny How...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how we set our clocks to arise at 4:00am or 5:00am to be at
the job by 7:30, yet when Sunday comes we can't get to church for
11:00am to praise the one who gave us the jobs!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our brother,
but find it hard to introduce them to our family.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how small our sins seem,
but how big "their" sins are.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how we demand justice for others,
but expect mercy from God.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how much difficulty some have learning the gospel well enough to
tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain the latest gossip about someone else.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger
when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how so many church goers sing "Standing on the Promises"
but all they do is sit on the premises.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how people want God to answer their
prayers, but refuse to listen to His counsel.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how we sing about heaven,
but live only for today.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how people think they are going to Heaven
but don't think there is a Hell.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the
world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why me?"
but when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh wait... maybe all this isn't so "funny" after all.
