Friday Humor.
As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side
service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be
held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first
to be laid to rest there.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a
typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late.
I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was
nowhere in sight.
I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the
open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the
workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to
do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my
heart and soul.
As I preached the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and
"Glory"! I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before: from
Genesis all the way to Revelations.
I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car. As I was
opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers
saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything like that before and I've
been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times, but this one is important.
So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.
If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warming weather and asks you to take your clothes
off and dance around with your arms up...
DO NOT DO IT!! IT IS A SCAM!!
They only want to see you naked... wish I'd gotten this yesterday.I feel so stupid.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, yelling "..........Holy Shit.......... what a ride".
