God Exists
A preacher and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums.
Said the barber to the preacher: "This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind and loving as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other character-destroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things."
The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkempt and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face. Said the minister: "You can't be a very good barber or you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut and a shave."
Indignantly the barber answered: "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like that. He has never come in my shop. I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!"
Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said: "Then don't blame God for allowing the people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved."
Truth be told, God can't change you unless you step forward and ask God to help you change for the better.

The Bachelorhood Gospel according to Melwyn:
Married men never complain
about the women spending too much time in the bathroom. They simply
think of it as uninterrupted free time to watch Sports.

The Bachelorhood Gospel according to Melwyn
The Bachelorhood Gospel according to Melwyn:
Excessive 'bonding' with one person could lead to future 'bondage'. It has happened to a few friends of mine.
