The minister delivered his Sunday morning service as usual but this particular Sunday it was considerably longer than normal. However, it was so well prepared and had so many wonderful scripture quotations he just knew it would be a big hit with the congregation.

At the end of the service he stood shaking hands with parishioners as they exited. One man paused and said, “Your sermon, Pastor, was simply wonderful – so invigorating and inspiring and refreshing.”

About the time the minister broke out in a big smile the man completed his comment by adding, “Why I felt like a new man when I woke up!”
