Be Careful
Be careful of who you do business with.
A young man from a poor family wanted to play guitar very much, but his parents couldn't afford to buy him one. A friend of the family who did know how to play the guitar offered him free lessons if he had one.
The young man then started doing odd jobs around the neighborhood and saving as much money as he could. He mowed lawns, washed windows, cleaned out garages, raked leaves, walked dogs, anything for a few dollars. Finally, he had saved up enough to buy a used guitar in good condition at a second-hand store.
When the store owner handed him the guitar, he told the young man, "I don't know how to play guitar, but I can tell you this one needs to be tuned. Do you know someone who will tune it for you?"
The young man told the shopkeeper about the man that offered him lessons, but he was out of town that week.
The shopkeeper replied, "I have a friend who is a retired music teacher, and he'll tune it for you for free if you tell him I sent you." The shopkeeper then wrote down the man's name and address on a slip of paper.
The young man immediately went to Mr. Opporknokaty's house, and he tuned the young man's guitar.
However, the strings were bad, and the guitar didn't stay tuned very long. The young man's parents did give him money for a new set of strings, and he put them on the guitar himself. He then went back to get the guitar tuned again.
You can imagine how surprised he was when the retired music teacher refused to tune the guitar. When the young man asked why, he said, "Haven't you heard? Opporknokaty only tunes once!"

Be careful of what you do around law enforcement officers.
One day a deputy was patrolling the back roads when he seen a man and a sheep walking towards town. He pulls over to check on them.
"I'm taking this sheep to the sale barn. I need to sell her so I can the get the money to buy the part I need to fix my truck," the farmer said.
"Well, the sale barn is closed today because the owner is out of town. He will be back tomorrow."
"Thanks for telling me. I guess I'll try again tomorrow," the farmer said before heading back the other way. Of course the sheep started to follow him.
He took only a few steps when the deputy told him, "I'm sorry, sir, but now I have to give you a ticket."
The farmer looked back in disbelief. "Why, did I do something wrong?"
"Well, I just saw you make a ewe turn."

Be careful when talking with a lawyer.
One day an engineer and a lawyer were arguing about which one's professional was the oldest.
The engineer pointed out that God created the universe out of chaos.
The lawyer replied, "Where do you think the chaos came from?"

Be careful of who you travel with.
Three scientists and three engineers from the same city were going to take the same train to the same conference.
Each scientist bought his own ticket, but the engineers pooled their money and bought only one ticket. One of the scientists asked, "How can all three of you get to the conference on one ticket?" One of the engineers replied, "Watch and learn."
When they got on the train, the engineers all headed to the restroom at the back of the car they were all in. A few minutes after the train left the station, the conductor came through. He seen that the restroom was occupied, knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please." The door barely cracked open and the ticket slid out. As soon as he punched the ticket and put it back into the space between the door and the jamb, the ticket quickly slid in and the door snapped shut.
Before the return trip, the scientists pooled their money and bought a single ticket, but the engineers didn't buy one. Again the question came up of how they were going to get back home. Again the answer was, "Watch and learn."
Again the engineers went to the restroom in the back. The scientists went to the restroom in the front. As soon as the train left the station, one of the engineers quickly and quietly went to the other restroom, knocked on the door, and said, "Ticket, please!"

TRANSFORMATION KEYS to do the Plan of God in your life
Most of us have learned how to survive against the devil and the flesh to the degree that we have made up our minds that we are going to stay saved and serve God no matter what comes our way. The problem is that, even though we determine to stay saved, at times we still allow the devil to put a ceiling on what we will or will not DO FOR God. Or, for that matter, a ceiling on what we will or will not RECEIVE FROM God.
