Hi ,
How about a touch of humor from our ministry this week.
I have often been amusingly called "Murphy", of Murphy's Law. If things can go wrong, they do. We travel a lot for our ministry, as you know. This is actually something we enjoy, but there can be times when it's trying. There are glitches that crop up, and so I've written some axioms and postulates to describe some of them. You might be able
to relate to these:
* Snavely's Travel Axiom, #23 - No matter which way you're headed, the road will always turn and face straight into the sun.
* Snavely's Travel Axiom, #40 - When working near a car, anything dropped (like a tool, an oil cap, a key, etc.) will always roll to the dead center underneath the car.
* Modification #40a - The amount of mud, dirt, oil, or water on the ground under the car will be directly proportional to the quality of clothing you're wearing.
* Modification #40b - Once you're under the car, you will discover that the object actually rolled out to the other side of the car.
* Snavely's Travel Axiom #66 - When traveling on a rural country road with no traffic, there will always be a vehicle in the oncoming lane right when you need to make a left turn.
* Snavely's Travel Axiom #67 - The lane you're in is always the slow lane.
* Modification #67a - When you switch lanes, your experience reverts to Axiom #67.
* Snavely's Travel Axiom #72 - When traveling on rural country roads, there will always be a slow car in your lane.
* Modification #72a - There will only be passing lines marked on the road every 6-7 miles.
* Modification #72b - At every passing line section, there will always be a vehicle in the oncoming lane.
* Snavely's Gas Station Restroom Axiom:
* Postulate #1 - The likelihood of the restroom at the gas station being closed for cleaning is directly proportional to how desperately you need to use it.
* Postulate #2 - The higher your desperation to get into the restroom, the higher the likelihood it is occupied.
* Postulate #3 - The higher your desperation to use the restroom, the higher the likelihood the seat will need to be cleaned off once you get inside.
* Postulate #4 - Once you have finished in the restroom, only then will you discover that there's no more toilet paper.
The list could go on, of course. If you're smiling at any of these, it's probably because you can relate! Remember that God is the One who created humor. It's great to laugh, and to laugh at the little bumps in the road like these. Enjoy your life, and laugh whenever you can! Create your own humor! Remember ~ "A merry heart does good, like a medicine."
(Proverbs 17:22)
