One evening a Husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, “Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in ‘Slim Fast’. Maybe it would take a few inches off your butt.”
His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couln’t let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. “What the Hell is this?” he said to himself as a little ‘dust’ cloud appeared when he shook them out.
‘April’’, he hollered into the bathroom, “Why did you put Talcum Powder in my underwear?”
She replied with a snigger, “It’s not talcum powder; it’s ‘Miracle Grow’????
One of my favorite television cartoons as a boy was Tom Terrific. When Tom faced a challenge, he would put on his thinking cap and work through the matter with his faithful sidekick Mighty Manfred, the Wonder Dog. Usually, those problems found their source in Toms arch-enemy, Crabby Appleton. To this day, I remember how this villain was described on the show. He was Crabby Appletonrotten to the core.
The fact is that all of us share Crabby Appletons primary problemapart from Christ, were all rotten to the core. The apostle Paul described us this way: There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God (Rom. 3:10-11). None of us are capable of living up to Gods perfect standard of holiness. Because of our condition of being separated from a holy God, He sent His Son Jesus to give Himself to die on the cross for the punishment we deserve, and then rise again. Now we can be justified freely by His grace through faith in Him (v.24).
Jesus Christ has come to people rotten to the core, and makes us a new creation by faith in Him (2 Cor. 5:17). In His goodness, He has fixed our problem completelyall the way down to our core.
Another LOL! :) Thank you!
