FUNNY?!!!


 Funny how we set our clocks to arise at 4:00am or 5:00am to be at
 the job by 7:30, yet when Sunday comes we can't get to church for
 11:00am to praise the one who gave us the jobs!
  
  Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our brother, but find it
 hard to introduce them to our family.
  
  Funny how small our sins seem, but how big "their" sins are.
  
  Funny how we demand justice from others, but expect mercy from God.
  
  Funny how much difficulty some have learning the gospel well
 enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain
 the latest gossip about someone else.
  
  Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't
 have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
 
 Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger
 when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.
  
  Funny how so many churchgoers sing "Standing on the Promises” but all they do is sit on the premises.
  
  Funny how people want God to answer their prayers but refuse to listen to His counsel.
  
  Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.
  
  Funny how people think they are going to Heaven but don't think there is a Hell.
  
  Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world,
 but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.
 
  Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why me?" but
 when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"
  
  Oh wait...maybe all this isn't so "funny" after all.  Funny how we
 probably all read this, but few of us will take time to pass it on...
