Having lost the security of being rooted in the eternal reality of the Word of God, we are looking to busy activity to fill the void that has been created in our lives. And under that bondage to activity we find it difficult to linger with the Word simply for the joy of it. In fact, we may be afraid to stop our busyness lest it expose the shallowness of our lives. So we go on from activity to activity, from project to project. But activity is a dangerous source of fulfillment. Instead of finding our identity, our sense of self-worth, from our relationship with God, we begin to look to success in programs and other earthly indicators of success for our self-worth. But these will never satisfy. This will only enslave us more in our bondage to activity.

Cindy, why are you doing your math multiplication on the floor?
CINDY:
You told me to do it
without using tables!

 
TEACHER:
John, how do you spell
"crocodile?"

JOHN:
K-R-O-K-O-D-A-I-L"
TEACHER:
No, that's wrong
JOHN:
 Maybe it's wrong,
 but you asked me
 how I spell it!
 
 
Waved On 
My former sister-in-law, not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, is still quite creative. She once rolled through a stop sign and THEN spotted the two patrolmen in the cop car watching her do it.

She stopped the car, backed up, stopped at the stop sign, and slowly went on her way again.

She again looked over at the two cops, who were laughing so hard that they could hardly sit upright, and they waved her on!

 
Seymour Goes To Heaven   
Seymour was a good and pious man, and when he passed away, the Lord
himself greeted him at the pearly gates of heaven.
 
"Hungry, Seymour?" the Lord asked.
 
"I could eat," said Seymour.
 
The Lord opened a can of tuna, and they shared it.
 
While eating this humble meal, Seymour looked down into Hell and noticed
the inhabitants devouring enormous steaks, pheasant, pastries and vodka.
 
The next day, the Lord again asked Seymour if he were hungry, and Seymour
again said, "I could eat."
 
Once again, a can of tuna was opened and shared, while down below Seymour
noticed a feast of caviar, champagne, lamb, truffles, brandy, and
chocolates.
 
The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was opened.
 
Meekly, Seymour said, "Lord, I am very happy to be in heaven as a reward
for the good life I lived. But, this is heaven, and all I get to eat is
tuna. But in the Other Place, they eat like Kings. I just don't
understand."
 
"To be honest, Seymour," the Lord said, "for just two people, does it pay
to cook?"
 
 
Have a Blessed Day
