Pastor Toensing
Not
many years ago, a Lutheran pastor was putting his children to bed.
One was banging on the bathroom door, appealing to her brother to
let her in. “Stop that!” the father called out. To his son in the
bathroom, he said, “Open the door. We’re all waiting to get in and
brush our teeth!” When the father came closer to the door, he could
hear that the water in the sink was running much stronger than
necessary. So he called out again, “Son, open the door and turn off
that water!” No response. The father got serious. “Son, open the
door or I’ll take it off the hinges myself!” (Full
Message...)
