Four Baptists
preachers meet weekly for a prayer session. During the course of one of their
sessions, the senior pastor says: "Our people come to us and pour out
their hearts, and confess their sins and failings. Let's do the same.
Confession is good for the soul. I’ll begin. I have to confess that every week
my wife and I drive 20 miles and go dancing." The second pastor opened up
and said: “I must confess that at least once a month I drive to the casino and
gamble the night away.” The third spoke up: “I am ashamed to admit it, but I
drink a bottle of scotch while preparing my sermons.” When it came to the
fourth minister, he remained silent; he wouldn't confess. The others pressed
him saying, "Come now, we confessed our sins. What is your sin or vice?"
Finally he answered, "It is gossiping and I can hardly wait to get out of
here." -Rabbi Jonathan Waxman
Funny. But remember: Words are the holiest of holiest or the most deadly.
