words worth reading... the good, the bad, and the funny... I love that God has a sense of humor. While not all Christians share in this specific likeness, God created the ability for us to laugh and enjoy moments in life. Here we will share and record some beautiful, funny, encouraging and heart warming stories and thoughts. If you would like to share a story please email us, we would love to hear it. There was once a Shakespearean actor who was known everywhere for his one-man shows of readings and recitations from the classics. He would always end his performance with a dramatic reading of Psalm 23. Each night, without exception, as the actor began
his recitation - But one night, just before the actor was to offer
his customary recital of Psalm 23, a young man from the audience spoke up. "Sir,
do you mind if tonight I recite Psalm 23?" The actor was quite taken back by
this unusual request, but he allowed the young man to come forward and stand front
and center on the stage to recite the Psalm, knowing that the ability of this
unskilled youth would be no match for his own talent. With a soft voice, the young man began to recite
the words of the Psalm. When he was finished, there was no applause. There was no
standing ovation as on other nights. All that could be heard was the sound of
weeping. The audience had been so moved by the young man's recitation that every eye
was full of tears. Amazed by what he had heard, the actor said to the youth, "I
don't understand. I have been performing Psalm 23 for years. I have a lifetime of
experience and training - but I have never been able to move an audience as you have
tonight. Tell me, what is your secret?" The young man quietly replied, "Well sir, you know the Psalm...I know the Shepherd."
