The Preacher Lost His Congregation

          The Preacher preached until no one was left.
As the congregation sat down for the early morning service,
the preacher dude turned his back on them.
He began to preach about the needs of the city.
Doors opened in front of the preacher revealing the city.

          As he preached a need,
several of the congregants would get up and walk past him toward the city. Eventually the preacher had covered all of the city gates and their needs.
Most of the folks understood the needs of the city and
walked past the preacher to go and help people in need.

          Some folks were miffed.
They had come to hear the preacher talk to them.
He didn't even face them,
he looked at the city and it's needs the whole time.
They got up and walked out the same doors
 of the church that they had entered.

          Eventually the church was empty, the preacher was alone.
All of the congregants had left him -
some went toward the need
 others left looking for feed.

          The preacher became a follower:
he followed the others toward the needs.

Thanks for your time.
Go do something nice for somebody.
