today is one of those days that I ask myself, am I really looking for Jesus in the right places? do I see him in the face of other? we are off to the soup kitchen where we usually see the face of God in his world today. look for him in his life today:)
Prayer:
Lord, help me to look for you in everyone, not just the people who seem to know you:)
Finding Jesus
An old drunk stumbles across a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river. He proceeds to walk into the water and stand next to the preacher. The minister notices the old drunk and says, "Mister, are you ready to find Jesus?" The drunk looks back and says, "Yes, preacher, I sure am." The minister dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back up. "Have you found Jesus?" the preacher asks."Nooo, I didn't!" said the drunk. The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up, and says, "Now, brother, have you found Jesus?" "Noooo, I have not, Reverend."The preacher, in disgust, holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of the water, and says in a harsh tone, "My God, man, have you found Jesus yet?" The old drunk wipes his eyes and says to the preacher, "Are you sure this is where he fell in?"

I did not even see that coming! I'm thinking maybe it wasn't water the preacher was dunking him in, maybe some kind of alcoholic beverage-duh
