Weather: Beautiful day, if you like rain.
Sorry late post today, had to go back to the Dr in Iron Mountain yesterday and today just flew by
Meet Walter Barnes
Toward the end of the Sunday service, the
Minister asked, “How many of you
have forgiven your enemies?”
80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his
question. All
responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes.
“Mr. Barnes, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?”
“I don’t have any,” he replied gruffly.
“Mr. Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you?”
“Ninety-eight,” he replied. The congregation stood up and
clapped their
hands.
“Oh, Mr. Barnes, would you please come down in front and
tell us all how a
person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy
in the world?”
The old man tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of
the pulpit,
turned around, faced the congregation, and said simply, “I
outlived all them
assholes.” Then he calmly returned to his seat.
