Friday Humor: #31

A man went to see his doctor for a checkup. He went back the next day to get the results from the tests.

“Doc, how do I look?”

The doctor said, “I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?”

The man said, “Let me hear the good news first.”

The doctor said, “Well, the good news is you have twenty-four hours to live.”

“Good grief! That’s the good news?” the man gasped. “I’ve got twenty-four hours to live? Then what’s the bad news?”

The doctor replied, “The bad news is I was supposed to tell you yesterday.”

I was privileged to study at Multnomah School of the Bible (B.S. - 1988); Talbot School of Theology (M.Div. - 1991); Westminster Theological Seminary & Northwest Graduate School (D. Min. - 2003). I founded Vertical Living Ministries in 2008 with the goal of encouraging Christian Disciples and Leaders to be more intentionally Christ-Centered in how they live by bringing glory to God in nine key areas of life: (1) Intimacy with God, (2) marriage, (3) family, (4) friendship, (5) vocationally/ministry , (6) emotional and physical health, (7) stewardship of resources, (8) discipleship, and (9) mentoring.
