"High Praise"*
*A stalwart Vermont farmer bought some land that
was still just as it had been before the Pilgrims landed.
He dug up hundreds of stones and built a fence; cut
down trees to create a clearing; built a house and
a small barn; cleared land for pasture, dug a well
and over several years just generally worked his fingers
to the bone in creating a small, neat, productive farm.
Eventually his pastor came out for a visit and
marveled rather fulsomely, and at great length, at
all that, "You and G~d have done together."
"Eh," the farmer said dubiously. "Ya shoulda seen the
place when G~d ran it on His own."

"You May Be A Preacher If..."*
*
* Your wife has amassed a huge collection of unsolicited casserole recipes.
* You'd like to put on the gloves and go a few rounds with Benny Hinn.
* You think Exegesis should be an Olympic Event.
* You love to eat lunch alone so you don't have to say grace out loud.
* You sort of enjoy inviting the Mormons in to "talk."
* People apologize to you after they use profanity.
* While shaving, you've pointed at yourself in the mirror and shouted,
"REPENT!"
...just to see what you look like doing it
