The woman in my message this MONDAY MORNING is fictional. You'll not find her in Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, located in the heart of Vinita, Oklahoma. Nevertheless, you may have met this woman at sometime, somewhere.
She is a vivacious, strong, pious woman. Faithful to worship services at her little church on the corner of Wisconsin and Ninth, she nods her head, and shouts "AMEN" whenever her minister condemns drinking, dancing, movies, gambling and Sunday football.
One Sunday her pastor preached against harm! caused by gossip, and as he droned on (some preachers never know the value of short sermons), she could keep silent no longer. In a loud whisper, heard throughout the congregation, she said:
"Now he's stopped preaching and started meddling!"
You don't know any self-righteous person like our fictional woman, or do you?
Minds - like parachutes - are valuable only when open!
Peace, and in friendship,
Richard
