One young preacher was reading in Genesis about Adam and Eve. Two of the pages in his Bible were  stuck together and what he read was, " Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become (page turn) 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high." He paused and thought for a moment and then said, "I never noticed that before, but if the Bible says it I believe it and all I can say is she must have been some woman." 
    Well, the Bible does say there were giants. As far as I know this particular event has never taken place, but some nearly as funny actually have.

    There was a strong young man during the depression who was eager to find work. He did not have many skills, but he did have an ax that his grandfather had left to him. He went around to all of the loggers offering his labor. At the last he begged for a chance to show what he could do. The foreman told him to come early the next morning (even though he didn't need anyone) and he would get a chance.
    The youngster worked hard the next day and out performed almost all of the more experienced men, so the foreman decided to keep him on another day. The next day when he did well, but not as well as the first day. The foreman assumed that some soreness from the first day had hampered the fellow. On the third day, he did less.  When he did even less on the fourth day the foreman was concerned that he might need to send him packing, but before that he would talk to the boy. 
    The boss noticed on the fifth day that the boy was the first one out working and when the others had gone home he was still at it, but had done less than any other day. He called the young man to him and asked him why he was struggling so much now when he had started so well. The youngster had no explanation. He felt like he had been working harder, but was not able to do as much.
    By this time the boss had a pretty good idea of what the problem was. "Let me see your ax, son" he said. When the boy handed over the ax it clearly had a blunt edge and the foreman asked, "Have you been taking time to sharpen your ax?"
    "No, sir, I haven't had time I have been too busy working to stop," he replied.
    The foreman explained the necessity of taking the time to sharpen the blade so the work would be productive. what about you are you taking the time to sharpen your skills, your tools, your sword, etc. It is essential to remaining productive in God's army, vineyard, kingdom, etc.
    Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the iron is blunt, and one does not sharpen the edge, he must use more strength, but wisdom helps one to succeed. 
    

    Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots on? He asked for
help and she could see why. With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on.
    When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said,
"Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on _ this time on the right feet. 
    He then announced, "These aren't my boots." 
    She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill_fitting boots off. 
    And then he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."  She didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She mustered up the grace to wrestle the boots on his feet again. She said, "Now, where are your mittens?" 
    He said, "I stuffed them in the toes of my boots..."

Three preachers were out in a boat fishing. They began to discuss struggles with preaching and eventually got around to their own personal weaknesses. The first one confessed to being strongly tempted by gambling and said that on occassion he would even slip out of town to go to the casino. The second preacher confessed that his biggest struggle was alcohol and that he kept a stash of liquor that he would get into at times. The third preacher began to make all kinds of excuses for why they needed to get back home. The others pressed him and finally he confessed that he had a weakness for gossip and couldn't wait to get back and spread the news he had just learned.
