A Man With No Enemies.......

Touching story.


Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"

80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes.

"Mr. Barnes, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any," he replied gruffly.

"Mr. Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety-eight," he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands.

"Oh, Mr. Barnes, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"

The old golfer tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation, and said simply, "I outlived all them arsholes" - and he calmly returned to his seat.



Ya' gotta love the guy!!!!!

Walter Barnes - All golfers should live so long!

I was going to say the lord said woe to he whom all say good of but in this case I think he will be all right.
Unexpected and made me laugh.
