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 all thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly lady in the rear.

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

"I don't have any."

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

"Ninety-three."

"Ms. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person can live to ninety-three and not have an enemy in the world."

The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I see, yes, go on,' and 'I understand.  How did you feel about that?'"

A minister was called away unexpectedly by the illness of a close family member.  He entrusted his new assistant with filling the pulpit.  The Pastor's wife stayed home.  When he returned, the minister asked his wife what she thought of the young man's sermon.

"The poorest I've ever heard," she said.  "There was nothing in it, nothing at all.  It didn't even make sense.  It was very unorganized.  I was disappointed."

When Bishop Philip Brooks, author of 'O, Little Town of Bethlehem,' was seriously ill, he requested no friends come to see him.

Especially when you aren't letting any of your close friends see you."

Bishop Brooks responded, "Oh, I'm confident of seeing them in the next world, but this may be my last chance to see you."...
