Overheated Computers

In the office where I work, there is a constant battle
between our technical-support director and customer-service
personnel over the room temperature, which is usually too
low.

The frustrated director, trying to get us to understand his
position, announced one afternoon, "We need to keep the
temperature below seventy-five degrees or the computers
will overheat."

Thinking that this was just another excuse, one of my
shivering colleagues retorted, "Yeah right. So how did they
keep the computers from overheating before there was air
conditioning?"

Worth Repeating....

If the heart can conceive it, and the mind can believe it, God
can achieve it.

LORD PROP US UP

Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old deacon who always prayed,
'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side.' After hearing him pray that prayer many
times, someone asked him why he prayed that prayer so fervently.

He answered,

'Well sir, you see, it's like this... I got an old barn out back. It's been
there a long time; it's withstood a lot of weather; it's gone through a lot of
storms, and it's stood for many years..

It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was leaning to one side a bit. So
I went and got some pine poles and propped it up on its leaning side so it
wouldn't fall.

Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was like that old barn. I've
been around a long time.

I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad
weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still
standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time,
so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning side, 'cause I
figure a lot of us get to leaning at times.

Sometimes we get to

leaning toward anger,

leaning toward bitterness,

leaning toward hatred,

leaning toward cussing

leaning toward self pity,

leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't.

So we need to pray,

'Lord, prop us up on our leaning side, so we will stand straight and tall again,
to glorify the Lord.''
