The Grumpy Man

An old grumpy man approached a minister after his sermon and said,

"Alright, I am done with this Christian stuff."

"Why?" asked the minister.

"If the message you preached is what I must be, that can ever be me. I am grumpy man, and that is my nature."

“Ahh, replied the minister, I will be honest with you, your problem is an issue that I wake up fighting against every morning.

Victory is possible, I will tell you what I have done that has helped me, when you feel a negative feeling you do not want, tell yourself, ‘This is not me.’

Eventually, as you keep resisting, the grumpy nature will suffocate and die."
