DEVIL'S BEATITUDES

If the Devil were to write his Beatitudes, they would
probably go something like this:

Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too
distracted to spend an hour once a week with their fellow Christians
in Church ~ they are my best workers.

Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and
expect to be thanked ~ I can use them.

Blessed are the touchy, with a bit of luck they may
stop going to church ~ they are my missionaries.

Blessed are those who are very religious but get on
everyone's nerves  ~ they are mine forever.

Blessed are the troublemakers  ~ they shall be called
my children.

Blessed are those who have no time to pray ~ they are easy prey for
me.

Blessed are the gossipers  ~ for they are my secret
agents.
Blessed are those critical of church leadership ~ for they shall
inherit a place with me in my fate.
Blessed are the complainers ~ I'm all ears for them.
Blessed are you when you read this and think it is
about other people and not yourself ~ I've got you.

unhappiness, and its called courage.
