Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy.\xa0Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1427 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged.\xa0Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life.\xa0Something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life.\xa0We are told in\xa0 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+17:22&version=NLT) \xa0A\xa0cheerful\xa0heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person\u2019s strength.\xa0Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today.\xa0So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s funny which is titled:
The JudgeAll was finally quiet at the Governor\u2019s mansion after a hectic and stressful day.\xa0About 11:00 pm, Governor Smith told Jim, his chief of staff, that is was going to retire for the evening as he was exhausted and knew that the next day would be equally as busy.\xa0\xa0Jim wished him a good night, and said that he had a few more things to do before heading home himself.\xa0Just as Jim was about to leave, shortly after midnight, the phone rang in the Governor\u2019s office.\xa0Jim considered not answering it, but with everything that was going on recently, he figured that anyone calling at this hour it must be important.\xa0\xa0As he answered, one of the top attorneys for the state, Don Donaldson, frantically blurted out, \u201cI need to talk to the governor -- it\u2019s an emergency!\u201d\xa0\xa0\xa0Jim explained that Governor Smith had gone to bed over an hour ago, and asked if it could wait until morning.\xa0Attorney Donaldson responded, \u201cabsolutely not.\u201d\xa0After some more cajoling, Jim agreed to wake him up.
After a few minutes, Governor Smith, sounding somewhat tired, said, \u201cDon, what\u2019s so blame important that it can\u2019t wait until morning?\u201d Sounding very anxious, Don excitedly said,\xa0\u201cChief Justice Pierson just died, and I want to take his place.\xa0I thought I better get my name in.\u201d
Governor Smith, not believing that he was woken from deep sleep to be asked such this ridiculous question, started to fume.\xa0After a few moments of silence, trying to clear his mind and gain some composure, the Governor finally replied, \u201cWell, it\u2019s okay with me if it\u2019s okay with the funeral home.\u201d
I hope that brought a smile to your face today.\xa0If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day.\xa0Our Thursday thought is, \u201cTake a deep breath and give yourself permission to step back from everything that is making you feel anxious.\u201d
Here is our verse for today:
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+127:2&version=NLT)
It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night,\xa0anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.
