A customer called his car-rental company and said he needed a tow. The driver named the highway where he was stranded — but he didn’t know the make of the car he was driving.

The representative asked for a more detailed description beyond “a blue four-door.”

After a pause, the driver replied: “It’s the one on fire.”

There will always be death and taxes. The difference is that death doesn’t get worse every year.

Thought for the day
Ephesians 2:10 says, “God . . . has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others” (TLB).

There’s a word for this: ministry. Every Christian is a minister. Not every Christian is a pastor, but every Christian is to be a minister. That means you use your talents and gifts to make a contribution in life, to be a giver, not a taker.
