Two Fools on the Road to Emmaus Podcast -  Sometimes life just sucks.  This doesn’t mean you have angered God and He’s “gitt’in you”!  Or that He is rejecting you, or you have to find the right formula of prayer and self powered righteousness to move the hand of a bitter, fickle god. Heavens NO! Sometimes life is hard (no kidding?) and this is the reality of a broken world but even in the middle of the crappy parts of life God is there. He is faithful and He loves us perfectly!  It is in these times of trial and stress that our relationship with God is expanded.

The guys talk about Joy in the midst of the mess that life sometimes is.

“But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.” Ps. 3:3

Just for a Laugh: On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, a couple had a fatal car accident.  The couple found themselves sitting outside Heaven’s Gate waiting on St. Peter to do an intake. While waiting, they wondered if they could possibly get married in Heaven.   St. Peter finally showed up and they asked him.  St. Peter said, “I don’t know, this is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out.” and he left.

The couple sat and waited for an answer…for a couple of months… and they began to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it all.  “What if it doesn’t work?” they wondered, “Are we stuck together forever?”  St. Peter returned after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled.  “Yes,” he informed the couple, “you can get married in Heaven.”
“Great,” said the couple, “but what if things don’t work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?”  St. Peter, red-faced, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.  “What’s wrong?”, asked the frightened couple.   “COME ON!” St. Peter shouted, “It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it will take me to find a lawyer?”  www.cleanjoke.com

An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, “They wouldn’t take me out while I was alive, I don’t want them to take me out when I’m dead.”

The priest was preparing a dying man for his voyage into the great beyond. Whispering firmly, the priest said, “Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil!” The dying man said nothing. The priest repeated his order. Still the dying man said nothing. The priest asked, “Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?”
The dying man said, “Until I know where I’m heading, I don’t think I ought to aggravate anybody.”
