All Things Anne

On Saturday we went to the convention (of which I’ll post later!), and while waiting for Mom and Dad in their meeting, we listened to Little Bear Wheeler. He is a Christian historian, and was very interesting to listen to! Here is a joke he told (not exact, but quite close):

Moses and Jesus were part of a threesome playing golf one day. Moses pulled up to the tee and drove a long one. The ball landed in the fairway, but rolled directly toward a water trap. Quickly Moses raised his club, the water parted and it rolled to the other side, safe and sound.

Next, Jesus strolled up to the tee and hit a nice long one directly toward the same water trap. It landed right in the center of the pond and kind of hovered over the water. Jesus casually walked out on the pond and chipped the ball right up on to the green.

The third guy got up and sort of randomly whacked the ball. It headed out over the fence and into oncoming traffic on a nearby street. It hit a truck tire, flew up, and hit a nearby tree. From there, it bounced onto the roof of a shack close by and rolled down into the gutter, down the drainspout, out onto the fairway and straight toward the aforementioned pond. On the way to the pond, the ball hit a little stone and bounced out over the water and onto a lily pad, where it rested quietly. Suddenly, a very large bullfrog jumped up on a lily pad and snatched the ball into his mouth. Just then, an eagle swooped down and grabbed the frog and flew away. As they passed over the green, the eagle, in its excitement squeezed the frog, which dropped the ball, which bounced right into the hole for a beautiful hole in one.

Moses turned to Jesus and said, “I hate playing with your Dad.”

That may sound a little sacreligious, but you know what? It’s only true. God can do anything!

God is on the throne! That doesn’t mean God is ONLY on the throne, we know He’s everywhere! It simply means, God is in control. God is on the throne, not Anne (thank goodness!), not you. And the Maker of the universe cares for us! Can you believe it? Any time I think on that very much, it just awes me!

Give God your worries…he’s going to be up all night anyway!
