WHERE DO YOU PRAY
BEST?
Three preachers
sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman
worked nearby. “Kneeling is definitely best,” said one. “No,” another
contended. “I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to
Heaven.” “You're both wrong,” the third insisted. “The most effective
prayer position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor.” The repairman
could contain himself no longer. “Hey, fellas,” he interrupted, “you want
to know what I found was the best position for prayer? It was when I was
hanging upside down from a telephone pole!”
