“The joy of the Lord is your strength” says Nehemiah 8:10. When life gets tough, the joy of Jesus will see you through. When all is well with you, the joy of Jesus will be a pleasant anchor to your soul.
This past week I received a very humorous e-mail from one of our church members. I thought I would share a portion of it with you. My hope is that you will find a little joy from “Ways to Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity.”
1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
3. In the memo field of all your checks, write “For smuggling diamonds.”
4. Finish all your sentences with “In accordance with prophecy.”
5. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
6. Specify that your drive-through order is “to go.”
7. Tell your children over dinner, “Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.”
Smile and let the joy of Jesus fill your day!
Loving and Leading,
Jeff Powell
