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. 
    

The story is told of the preacher who was visiting an elderly widow. During the visit she was called away for one reason or another and he was left in the room alone. After a few minutes a bowl of peanuts drew his attention and eventually he ate one, then a handful, and before she returned had finished the whole bowl. He felt a bit guilty about it and was compelled by his conscience to confess it to her when she returned. He told her what he had done and apologized and offered to buy her more peanuts. She just laughed and said, "Don't worry, sonny, I don't need any peanuts. Those were some left from my last bag of M&M's I can't eat the nuts so I just suck the chocolate off and spit the peanuts in a bowl to throw away."

Bet he learned to leave things that weren't his alone.

    There was a family that had a visiting preacher over for dinner. In the process of the visit a Bible question came up and they needed their family Bible to find the answer. In their desire to impress the preacher, they sent their young child to get the Bible, telling him, "Go in Mommy and Daddy's room to the table by the bed and get the big book that we read out of so much."
    The child quickly took off only to return a minute later with the Sears catalog.

    I realize that there is no longer a Sears catalog and children, teens, and even young adults don't know what it is, but the message that this family obviously spent more time looking at a catalog than at the Bible. At least from the child's perspective  it seemed that way. I don't know where I first heard this story or whether it is a true story or not.
