 I experienced an embarrassing moment while delivering the Mother's Day message a couple of weeks ago. It being a special day, a large congregation was present. The mother I was referring to was Rebekah and her two sons, Jacob and Esau. Those of you who attend church here at Highland are aware of the fact that I don't use any notes while preaching. Much to my dismay, my mind went completely blank, and there was no way I could think of those two boys' names, Jacob and Esau. At least it got everyone's attention.
But I notice I am not the only person whose mind goes blank at times. In fact, I ran across this funny story that we all can laugh about, as well as ourselves, when these experiences occur.
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, they just met a couple of times a week to have coffee. One day they were having coffee when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me ... I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"
Don't forget to attend church Sunday!
In Christ's Love,
Bro. Terry
