On a very hot day out in the country, a
woman was washing clothes in her back yard using a tub and washboard. Two seminary
students come by to share with her.
They knock on the front door. All the
doors to her house are open for ventilation. When she hears the knocking, she comes
through the house and asks them what they want. They tell her that Jesus Christ can
offer her eternal life.
She thinks about it for a minute, then
wipes the sweat off her face, pushes her hair off her forehead, and replies,
"No thanks, I don't think I can stand it."
