I am not sure who invented summer vacation but I think they deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Every year is worth the intense strain when there is a summer vacation to look forward to. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story I stammered and stuttered but finally I said, "I said my Bible was dynamite." He stared at me. Look me up and down, glared at me with eyes that burned into my very soul. Then he spoke. "Would you by any chance be a minister?" He said rather gruffly. "Yes sir," I stammered as if my life depended upon what I was going to say, "I am a minister, a preacher of the gospel." I thought the last part might do something for me. At least it was a shot, excuse me, a try. He glared at me and shouted, "False alarm. Just another crazy preacher." As he walked away, I could hear him muttering under his breath, "Where do all these crazy preachers come from?" The terminal finally quieted down, I went through the inspection, and I must say, I am not complaining mind you, but the pat down was a little longer and rougher than I remembered it being in the past. They stripped me down almost to my birthday suit. Thank God for wrinkles. As I walked down the aisle on the plane, I could hear people whispering, "That's him. That's the crazy preacher with the dynamite." I finally sat down next to my wife who was staring out the window. In a few minutes the plane took off and as we reached our altitude she, while still staring out the window, said to me, "Next time we'll take separate planes." She paused for a moment and then said, "In fact, will take separate airports." I think I am going to stick to what the Bible says. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12 KJV).
