During my marriage to my pastor husband, I have kept scrapbooks of our many years in ministry.  Looking through the scrapbooks tonight I came across the pages from when my husband retired as pastor.  (This was his first retirement.  He came out of retirement twice – once to serve with me as worship pastors, once to be an interim pastor for a local church.)

Part of the ceremony of that day included a bulletin summarizing some of his work.  Looking at the bulletin, I found his “Top Ten Sayings.”

Thought perhaps some might find them interesting.  Some are a little amusing but many contain a truth to consider.

• Say “no” to sin and “yes” to God.
• Eternity is too long to be wrong.
• What part of “thou shalt not” did you not understand?
• You have a right to be wrong if you want to.
• There is more to serving God than 11 am on Sunday morning.
• Emotion without devotion is just commotion.
• Serving God is walking straight after you repent.
• I never saw a U-Haul behind a hearse.
• If you want something out of church, put something in.
• It is not what Grandma told you, what you think or what you saw that is the truth, but what “thus says the Lord.”
