HILARIOUS JOKES AND HUMOR ARCHIVES
My grandfather worked in a blacksmith shop when he was a
boy, and he used to tell me, when I was a little boy myself,
how he had toughened himself up so he could stand the rigors
of blacksmithing.
One story was how he had developed his arm and shoulder
muscles. He said he would stand outside behind the house
and, with a 5 pound potato sack in each hand, extend his
arms straight out to his sides and hold them there as long
as he could.
After awhile he tried 10 pound potato sacks, then 50 pound
potato sacks and finally he got to where he could lift a 100
pound potato sack in each hand and hold his arms straight
out for more than a full minute!
Next, he started putting potatoes in the sacks.
Where does your strength come from?
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is
tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. For
who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my
high places.
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is
broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of
thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou
hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not
slip. -II Samuel 22:31
