The Pitfall of Anger

A preacher was bothered by a parishioner sleeping during his services, even during his sermon.  Getting angrier and angrier he finally whispered to the congregation, “All who wish to walk in the kingdom of heaven, stand up.”  They all rose.  Then the preacher shouted:

“Now all those who wish to walk with the devil, rise.”  The poor sleeping man was startled and quickly stood.  He looked around and so no one else standing so he said, “I don’t know what we’re voting on preacher but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it.”  -Lyndon Johnson

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
