Woe to the multitude of many people who make a noise like the roar of the seas, and to the rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! (Isaiah 17:12).

Around and Around in a Taxi

“Jimmie” Walker, once mayor of New York, tells the story of the drunk who climbed into a taxi and demanded, “Drive me eighteen times around Central Park.” The cab had gotten about as far as 86th Street when he banged on the window and cried, “Faster! I’m in a hurry!”

Those Pioneer Days

Back in the pioneer days, if a man missed a stagecoach, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, “So what? Another one will be along in a couple of weeks.” Now, if a man misses even one section of a revolving door in a bank building, he is ready to explode with impatience. We need to slow down and let our spirits catch up with our bodies. Many people are rushing around so fast that they have no time to speak to a friend, to smile, or just to stop and pat a little dog on the head. We need to slow down and live!
