Isn't it Strange...

.... how a £20 note seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the church, but such a small amount when you go shopping?

....how two hours seem so long when you're in church, but how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

....that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble speaking to a friend?

....how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible, but how easy it is to read a hundred pages of a popular novel?

....how everyone wants front-row tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit in the back row at church?

....how we need to know about a church event two or three weeks before the day so that we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust our diaries at the last minute for other events?

....how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, embellish and repeat gossip?

....how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bible?

....how everyone wants a place in Heaven, but they don't want to believe, do or say very much to get there?
