Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to church
and so small when we take it to the store.

Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible and 
how easy it is to read 200 pages of a best selling novel.

Funny how big an hour of serving God looks and how small 60 
minutes are when spent watching T.V., playing golf or shopping.

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray and don't 
have any difficulty talking for hours with a friend.

Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks to fit a church event into our schedule,
but can adjust it for a social/entertainment event at the last minute.

Funny how we find it hard to help a charitable cause with its hand out in front 
of a store, and don't have a problem with an impulse purchase inside.

Funny, isn't it?

We love to tell ourselves that God is first in our lives... 
Ask yourself now after a bit of honest introspection... is He truly?

"...You are worried and upset about many things, 
but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen 
what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Luke 10:41-42
