WISE SAYINGS
I've been super-busy today with family responsibilities, cooking chores to finish before the predicted storms hit, and a horrible backlog of e-mails to answer. So for a day or so, I'll be pulling out some old posts from my other blog. These are such fun that I'd hate to have you miss them.
Several
years ago, Floyd and I spend six months traveling around western
Tennessee to visit each Lions Club in the district. As we rode along
the back roads, away from the din of traffic on I-40, we began to notice
that church marquees and bumper stickers on pickup trucks contained a
wealth of down-home wisdom. Here are some of our favorites.
- “Never try to teach a frog to sing. You’ll annoy the frog, wear yourself out, and the music will be awful.”
- “Don’t drive faster than your angel can fly.”
- “Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.”
- “Lord, help me be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.”
- “All experts are twits.”
- “When you’ve dug yourself into a hole, quit digging.”
- Sign on back of an ordinary-looking van: “This is a church vehicle. Please report any suspicious behavior.”
- “Teamwork means there’s someone else to blame.”
- Sign on a casket company truck: “Please drive safely. Heaven can wait.”
- “Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.”
- “Some people stop looking for work as soon as they find a job.”
- “You gain experience just AFTER you discover you need it.
- Sign on church: “Under same management for 2000 years.”
