Blew Hot and Cold
There is a whimsical little story told of a man who had been wandering through the woods and came up to a cottage. The man who lived in the cottage invited him into his home. As the man came in out of the cold, he began to blow on his hands. ''Why do you blow on your hands?'' asked the host. ''To make them warm,'' answered the wanderer.
Then the host offered the visitor a bowl of hot soup. The man began to blow on the soup. ''Why do you blow on the soup?'' asked the host. ''To make it cool,'' answered the guest. So the host jumped up and ran out of his own house, saying, ''I don't like anybody who can blow hot and cold!''
Well, my friend that is the way a great many people are as far as Christianity is concerned. With one crowd they blow hot and with another crowd they blow cold. They are like Ephraim-a cake (a pancake) not turned.

He Was Not Half-Baked
August 10 is the feast of St. Lawrence, deacon and martyr. Lawrence was one of the seven deacons of the Church of Rome. In 258, he was martyred along with Pope Sixtus II and other deacons.
St. Lawrence was in charge of caring for the poor and had a great love for the destitute and the needy. He was the distributor of alms and ''keeper of the treasures of the Church'' during a time when Christianity was proclaimed illegal. The Prefect of Rome, a greedy pagan, thought the Church had a great fortune hidden away. So he ordered Lawrence to bring the Church's treasure to him. Lawrence distributed the material wealth of the Church before the Roman authorities could steal it. ...
