The Good Book

“I can’t take it anymore.” Larry told his priest. “No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to put bread on the table.”

“Larry, listen,” the priest said. “Go to a quiet place outdoors. Sit down with a Bible in front of you, and let the wind turn the pages.

"Close your eyes, and think about the Lord. When you open your eyes, see what page is opened, and there you will find your answer.”

Three months later, the priest is walking up the church steps when Larry zips by in a shiny red convertible.

“Larry!" the priest called. "What happened?"

"It was opened to Chapter 11!”

“I just can’t take it anymore” cried Larry to his Priest. “No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to put bread on the table!” “Larry, listen closely to what I am going to tell you” said the Priest. “Go to a quiet place outdoors where you can spend some time with the Lord. Sit down with the Bible in front of you and let the wind turn the pages. Close your eyes and think about the Lord. When you open your eyes, see what page the Bible is opened to, and there you will find your message.” Three months later the Priest was walking up the church steps when he spotted Larry speeding by in a brand new Lexus. “Larry!” screamed the priest incredulously. “What happened? Let me hear your story!” “Well,” said Larry “it was just as you said. I sat in a quiet place, closed my eyes, and when I opened them the answer was right in front of me. It was opened to Chapter 11!”
