A warning for the preacher
Just spotted the following video on a “round up of 2010″. It demonstrates a “fail safe” automated parking system by Volvo, intended to avoid accidental collision by automatically engaging the brakes when a nearby object is detected:
Watching it I am reminded of the following little prayer, from Haiti, which I pass onto other preachers whenever I get the excuse:
“Lord, help us not to talk too much
Because talking too much is like driving too fast
Sometimes the brakes are not good
And we pass by the place where we intended to stop”
Enough said, I think!

Richard, this reminds me of a story I heard about a preacher who was known to be long-winded. When he started his sermon with the words: “Now I will bring you the sincere milk of the Word” one wag quipped, “Then make it condensed milk, will you?”
