Humor Corner

So this guy Joseph is real down on his luck, and he goes to church to pray for help. "God, please help me, I'm having trouble making ends meet and I think I'm going to lose my job soon. Please just let me win the lottery this week." A week goes by, he doesn't win the lottery, and he gets laid off. Discouraged, he goes back to church to pray again for help. "God, please, I've lost my job, I have a family and kids to feed, my car is going to get repossessed soon, I don't know what to do, please just let me win the lottery." A week goes by, he doesn't win the lottery, and his car gets repossessed. Discouraged, he goes back to church to pray again for help. "God, please, I've lost my car and my job, the bank is going to take my house soon, I have no money, and I have a family and kids to feed. Please just let me win the lottery." A week goes by, he doesn't win the lottery, and his house gets repossessed. He goes back to church to pray one more time for help. "Please God, I've been praying for help and no help has come. I've lost my job, my car, and now my house. My kids are going to starve. I don't know what to do. I keep asking for help and things just keep getting worse. Please, God, just let me win the lottery."

Finally God takes pity upon Joseph and answers him. "Joseph," he says, "just buy a darn ticket already!"

Some of us just need to buy that ticket! Buying that ticket means taking action to allow God to work in our lives today. Baby steps...=)
