A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a
newspaper and
complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.
He wrote: "I've gone for 30 years now, and in that time I have heard
something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can't remember
a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time, the
preachers and priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all".
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column.
Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone
wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked
some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the
entire menu for a single one of those meals.
But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I
needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I
would be physically dead today.
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be
spiritually dead today!"
