Who Me, a Couch Potato? (3 of 7)
Series: How to Win at the Game of Life
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Proverbs 21:25-26
The third grade teacher talked to her students, and she gave them some very familiar little maxims that we have in our country, familiar little modern proverbs, and she gave them the first part of the proverb, of the maxim, and then she asked them to fill in the rest. The answers she got were interesting.
"It's always darkest……. before Daylight Savings Time."
"Better to be safe than……to punch a fifth grader."
"You can't teach an old dog……math." It's true.

Now there are lots of people that don't like work. And they don't want to work. They want to win, but they don't want to work. And there's no way to win without work. And some people say, "Well, you know, I'd rather wish than work. I'd rather lounge than labor." But if you wish and don't work, if you lounge and don't labor, you don't win. It, it's funny how some people kind of go through life. They hav ...
