CATCHING UP AND LOOKING AHEAD

   Catching Up: The Texas Baptist Bivocational and Smaller Church Ministers and Spouses Association had a great July Statewide Conference at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Everyone enjoyed the many seminars that were offered and the inspirational messages Randy Rather and Dr. Tim Crawford shared with us. The highlight of the weekend was the praise and worship services lead by The Hubbard Family and David Meece.

~ Heavenly Humor ~

   Two men crashed in their private plane on a South Pacific Island. Both survived. One of the men brushed himself off and then proceeded to run all over the island to see if they had any chance of survival. When he returned, he rushed up to the other man and screamed, This Island is uninhabited, there is no food, there is no water. We are going to die! The other man leaned back against the fuselage of the wrecked plane, folded his arms and responded, No we're not. I make over $100,000 a week.

   The first man grabbed his friend and shook him. Listen, we are on an uninhabited island. There is no food, no water. We are going to die!

   The other man, unruffled, again responded. No, I make over $100,000 a week. Mystified, the first man, taken aback with such an answer again repeated, For the last time, I'm telling you we ARE doomed. There is NO one else on this island. There is NO food. There is NO water. We are, I repeat, we ARE going to die.

   Still unfazed, the first man looked the other in the eyes and said, don't make me say this again. I make over $100,000 per week. I tithe 10%!! My pastor WILL find us!.
