  Friday Tale - Homeless Movies   T here is a good movie playing down-town. How about let's taking in a movie tonight?" asked my wife. "I guess so." I told her.  I really did not like going to the movie theater. It was located right on the edge of a very seedy part of town. When we arrived we parked the car and started the block or so walk to the Florida Theater.   "Can you spare a dollar?" or "Can you spare some change" asked almost every person that we passed. Most people coming to this part of town to the movies had already learned that it was best not to speak and to just keep on walking. As we rounded the last corner I saw a gentleman sitting on the sidewalk, his back to the building. Next to him was a large duffle bag.   He was very unclean and unshaven. Around his eyes were very dark circles. It appeared as though he had not washed his face for quite a long time. His clothes were old and worn and there was very little doubt that the

  Friday Tale - Criticism Challenge   W hy do we have to criticize all the time? When we think about it, we are actually happy with most things that happen in our lives, BUT when we open our mouths and speak, we choose to focus on the things we disagree with or are critical about.   Jesus commented about the people of his generation and their criticism. He said, “For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of man has come eating and drinking and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her children.” (Luke 7 v 33 – 35 ESV).   They criticized John the Baptist, and they criticized Jesus, even though they both behaved different ways from each other. There was plenty to admire about both of them, BUT they focused on the negative.   Let us take a challenge to spend a week saying nothing negative. No criticism. Be positive, thankful, grateful. Bui
