Isn't it funny how a $10.00 bill looks so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the grocery store? Isn't it funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball? Isn't it funny how long are a couple of hours spent at church, but how short they are when watching a movie? Isn't funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but we don't have any difficulty thinking of things to say to a friend? Isn't it funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time? Isn't it funny how hard it is to read a chapter in our Bibles, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel? Isn't it funny how people want to get a front row seat at a game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services? Isn't it funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a church event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the drop of a hat? Isn't it funny how much difficulty some people have learning a simple gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip about someone? Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but we question what the Bible says? Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to Heaven, provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or to do anything? Funny isn't it? [author unknown]
