Rants and Raves

[teapeebubbles]

The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used "Forgive
Your Enemies" as his subject. After a long sermon,
he asked how many were willing to forgive their
enemies. About half held up their hands. Not
satisfied he harangued for another twenty minutes
and repeated his question. This time he received
a response of eighty percent.Still unsatisfied,
he lectured for fifteen minutes and repeated his
question. With thoughts of Sunday dinner, all
responded except one old gentleman in the rear.

"Mr. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your
enemies?'

"I don't have any."

"Mr. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?

"Eighty six.."

"Mr. Jones, please come down in front and tell
the congregation how a man can live to eighty six
and not have an enemy in the world."

The old man teetered down the aisle and slowly
turned around. "It's easy. I just outlived the
sons of bitches."
