The hardest thing for the prophet of God, is to publicly proclaim, “In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed,” and then get on his knees alone and pray that it may not be so.
WASTE OF TIME – – – JUST FOR FUN
The biggest waste of time in conversation is the simple question, “How are you doing?”
Everybody says it. Nearly everybody isn’t serious. And, who answers it honestly?
Some solve this problem by coming up with creative answers that include humor. If you make somebody laugh, you don’t have to tell anybody how you’re doing. And everybody’s better off when we laugh.
So—
How are you doing? I was okay, but I got over it.
How are you doing? I made it this far.
How are you doing? Do you want my opinion, or God’s?
(When all else fails, you answer a question with a question)
