Joke of the Day:

A traveling minister came to a church one Sunday and found one lone farmer at the service. Some what embarrassed at the lack of attendance the minister looked at the farmer and said, "Well, what should we do here?"

The farmer looked at the minister and said, "Well preacher, if I go out to feed my cows and only one cow comes.....I feed it."

The minister began the service. They sang all the hymns, prayed all the prayers, and ended with a 30 minute sermon.

After the service the minister approached the farmer again and said, "Well, how do you think it went?"

The farmer looked at the preacher and said, " Well, preacher, if I go out to feed my cows and only one cow shows up, I feed it.....but I don't drop the whole load!"

I was thinking about this joke today. Some days it seems like it is easy to complain . One of the most visible results of a discontented heart comes right out of our mouths. Some times I think complaining is really more of a habit that we learn early in life. I don't know about you, but when I start to complain I tend to drop the whole load.

I use different words.....it's not really complaining it's just venting! Proverbs says it best, "Stone is heavy and sand a burden but a complaining fool is worse than either." Proverbs 27:3

Usually my complaints come when I am inconvienced. I call them my "pet peeves" but lets face it .......they are complaints. As they say in the South, "Well, shut my mouth!" Good advice for all of us.

What are your " pet peeves?" What makes you "drop the whole load?"
