“Thanks for inviting me to go to church with you next Saturday, Uncle Al.” Tim and his uncle were on their way to Bonny Lake. They had heard the fishing there was great. “I . . . I don’t want to hurt your feelings,” continued Tim, “but . . . well . . . I’m not sure I want to get into this religious stuff. Besides, Mom and Dad don’t think it’s a good idea.”
..
“Oh?” asked Uncle Al in surprise. “I thought you said that your parents wouldn’t mind if you went with me. You sounded quite interested last week. You even said the Gospel was beginning to make sense to you.”
..
“Yeah, but since then I’ve done a lot of thinking,” Tim said slowly. “I don’t think I feel like getting ‘saved’ right now. The crowd I hang around with at school wouldn’t understand, and I like being with them. Someday I’ll start going to church, but I think I’ll just go on the way I am for a while. I know I’m not perfect, but I’m not so bad, either.”
..
Tim’s uncle drove on silently for a few minutes. “Oh, no!” he exclaimed as they passed a road sign. “I was so intent on our conversation that I missed the turnoff! We should have gotten off this road five miles back!”
..
“Guess we’ll have to turn around and go back now, huh?” asked Tim.
..
But Uncle Al shook his head. “I don’t feel like turning around right now,” he said. “I guess we’ll just keep going

A man has been in business for many, many years and the business
is going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide
and he doesn’t know what to do. He goes to the Pastor to seek
his advice.
.
He tells the Pastor about all of his problems in the business
and asks the Pastor what he should do. The Pastor says,
.
“Take a beach chair and a Bible and put them in your car and
drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water’s edge.
Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the
Bible out and open it up. The wind will rifle the pages for a
while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular
page. Read the Bible and it will tell you what to do.”
.
The man does as he is told.
