Helping out
Several women in the church prayer group were visiting an elderly friend who was ill. After awhile, they rose to leave and told her; “We’ll do what we can to help. We promise to keep you in our prayers.”
“Just do something more useful like wash the dishes in the kitchen,” the ailing woman said, “I can do my own praying.”

New Light Switch
My husband decided life would be easier if he wired a new light switch in the master bedroom to save us from fumbling in the dark for the lamp. He cut through the drywall and found a stash of bottles and small boxes inside the wall.
“Honey!” he called excitedly. “You’ve got to come here and see what I found.”
I ran in and quickly realized that his next task would be to fix the hole that now led into the back of our medicine cabinet.

Kettle Rescue
A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards an electric kettle.
Intending to jolt him away from the deadly electrical current, she whacked him with a plank of wood that had been by the back door, breaking his arm in two places.
Until that moment he had been happily listening to his mp3 player.
