Arthur's admonition

I was feeling all sorry for myself today because I feel so useless in the ministry here. Arthur walked in to the kitchen to get something to drink and asked why I was crying. His answer to me : "Come on - you've read the Scriptures. God gives the church teachers, preachers, evangelists, according to HIS will. "So what" if you don't have the spiritual gifts that you would like. What makes you any different from Billy Graham? God's sovereign choice. You are both just sinners that He chooses to use as He wants. Now, deal with it, and stop being a prat." Then he asked for some chocolate.

  3. Hazel, did you know that Mugabe had 2 holes cut into his upper lip? He did it so that he could see where he is going while whistling
