The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed
Bedpan Conversion: Sister Mary Ann, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound patients when she ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a Texaco station was just a block away. She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas. The attendant told her that the only gas can he owned had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned. Since Sister Mary Ann was on the way to see a patient, she decided not to wait and walked back to her car. She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient. Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car. As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptists watched from across the street. One of them turned to the other and said, 'If it starts, I'm turning Catholic.

Said the Spider to the Fly
We will make our own choices that lead to spiritual maturity or spiritual incapacity. It is no one’s responsibility but our own. We will rise and fall on our own faith and choices in life. There is no one else to blame. Man up and live like a Christian. You know what to do. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. Matt. 23:12
