Wise words from Yogi Berra

If you're a person of my generation, you can't help but remember the New York Yankees.  In the 60's they were described as the Bronx Bombers and the middle of their lineup featured Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris.  The Yankees were fixtures in the World Series.  You either loved or hated them.

However, nearly everyone loved their catcher, Yogi Berra.  He was a great hitter and very good behind the plate.  But it was what Yogi said when his catcher's mask came off that made him endearing.

Yogi was once asked by a teammate, "What time is it?"  Yogi answered, "Right now?" You gotta love it.  Anyway, here are Yogi's wise words for the day:

You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

I think Yogi would agree that you should also go to church this weekend.  Why not Life in Christ? Worship today at 5 pm or tomorrow at 8, 9:30 or 11 am.  You'll hear more wise words.  Just not from Yogi.
