So You Are Eat Up With It (5 of 9)
Ken Trivette
Hebrews 12:14-15
1. A news story heard on the local news in Liberal, Kansas, told of a elderly lady driving a big, new, expensive car. It seems that she was preparing to back into a parallel parking space when suddenly a young man in a small sports car zoomed into the space ahead of her. The lady, angrily, asked why he had done that when he could tell that she was trying to park there. His response was, ''I'm young and I'm quick.''

He ran up to her and angrily asked her why she was wrecking his car. Her response was, ''Because I'm old and I'm rich.''

3. I think about a husband and wife I read about that were having a quarrel over breakfast. Their quarrel remained unsettled as it was time to get ready for work. As the wife was getting ready, she was having trouble with the zipper on her dress. She asked her husband to help her. In a huff, the husband freed the zipper and then rapidly ran it up and down several times in anger. It infuriated the wife and all day long she was boiling on the inside.
When she came home that afternoon she saw her husband's car parked in the driveway. As she walked around the car, there was a man lying on his back underneath the car, except for his lower half. Remembering the incident that morning, she grasped the zipper on his fly, and zipped it up and down several times and then stomped into the house.
When she walked in, there to her surprise was her husband sitting in the den drinking a cup of coffee. Shocked, she said, ''I thought you were working on the car!'' He said, ''No, that's the neighbo ...
