Hospitals, who likes them? It's hard enough to visit someone in the hospital, but when you're in there yourself . . . Let's just say that there are better ways to spend your time! Still, as Christians, our faith makes all the difference, as does a visit from our minister. What an encouragement to your soul! Sometimes, though, ministers have been known to be a bit insensitive, or perhaps even say the wrong thing!
So, with foot planted firmly in mouth, the June 2000 Edition of the Heavenly Top Ten is:
“Top Ten Things You Don't Want Your Minister To Say While Visiting You In The Hospital”
- Out, Legion!
- Am I too late?
- Honestly, you make that oxygen mask look great!
- I'd stay longer, but I have a funeral sermon to write!
- So, do you think you can learn to play the piano with your feet? By Sunday?
- The board was praying for you last night. They voted 5 to 3 for your recovery!
- Sorry about that stepping on the air hose thing!
- Let's just look at these burns as an evangelistic tool! Who won't want to escape hell when they see you?
- Good News! The board just decided to rename the library in your name!
- And the number one thing you don't
want to hear your minister say is: - Rats! Why does everyone get to see Jesus before me!
The Heavenly Top Ten is intended to be a fun look at
issues of faith and fellowship. It should not be considered a serious treatment
of
any of the topics presented.
