If you're spiritually alive, you are going to love this!  Those who are spiritually dead - won't ~ spiritually curious:  there is still *Hope!
A Church-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.  "I've gone for 30 years now," he  wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like  3,000 sermons.  But for the life of me, I can't remember  a single one of them.  So, I think I'm wasting my time  and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at  all."
 This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the  Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor.   It  went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
      
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time  my wife has cooked  some 32,000 meals.  But, for the life of  me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of  those meals.   I do know this ... they all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work.   If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead  today.   Likewise, if I had not gone to church for  nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"   
    *****When you are DOWN to nothing ...  God is UP to something!   Faith  sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the  impossible!  Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
