SMART (FORTUNE) COOKIE

Some friends were out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant with their grown son and his young wife. The waitress delivered the bill and four fortune cookies.

They opened them, and read them aloud, one by one.

The daughter-in-law read, "You will make a prosperous business decision."

The father-in-law read, "There are big changes for you but you will be happy."

The mother-in-law read, "You have found good company -- enjoy."

Finally, the adult son pulled his paper out of the cookie, and read, "You have homosexual tendencies."

There was a moment of stunned silence, and then his wife slapped his forearm and everybody roared. How he pulled it off with a straight face was very . . . well . . . fortunate.

Prayer request: We pray in one accord for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. May each of us find a way to contribute to the clean-up and help bear their burden, Lord. It is when we are serving others that we feel Your presence in the sweetest, clearest way. Hint, hint: think Red Cross! (Revelation 3:20)
