Younger woman: You know you can’t work your way to heaven.
Older woman (quietly): Yes, I know… but wouldn’t the world be a nicer place if we tried?
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Yes the world would be a better place. But I wonder what led up to that, if that is what the younger one really meant.

Too true and funny… now I have the old camp song, “oh, you can’t get to Heaven on roller skates” in my head
Have a great week!

Great quote. Reminds me of “if you’re gonna ‘talk the talk’ you had better ‘walk the walk.’

I followed a link from another blog to yours and have thoroughly enjoyed my ‘visit.’ I laughed out loud several times, then others, just sat here reading knowing exactly what you were saying. You have a gift of writing and humor…thanks for sharing them with the blogging world. I’ll be back!
