But for the life of me, I can't remember a> single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are> wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."> This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column,> much> to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote> this> clincher:> "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked> some> 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu> for a> single one of those meals. But I do know this... they all nourished me> and> gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me> these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not> gone> to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"> * When you are DOWN to nothing... God is UP to something!> * Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives> the> impossible!> * Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!> All right, now that you're done reading, send it on!
