CHRISTIAN SINGLES : GUIDE TO
ENDING LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION Cont.
A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman at his bed side
and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made
them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would
place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to
have enough money to enjoy the next life.
A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and
Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old
client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several months
later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession
saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the
coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a
Mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness. The Doctor,
moved by the gentle Clergymans sincerity, confessed that he too had kept
some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he
admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself
to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit
others.
By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He
expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of
his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept
his promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the
envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my
envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."
A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean. The lawyer
said,
"I'm here because my house burned down and everything I owned was
destroyed by the fire. The insurance company paid for everything."
"That's quite a coincidence," said the engineer, "I'm
here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a flood,
and my insurance company also paid for everything."
The lawyer looked somewhat confused. "How do you start a
flood?" he asked.
