Promises and promises

Love.

Religion is not a promise for the future
but an experience here and now.
But through priesthood it has become
promises and promises and promises.

At an examination of a class in First Aid
a member, who was also a priest, was asked:
What would you do if you found a man in a fainting
condition?

I would give him some brandy, was the answer.
And if there was no brandy? he was then asked.
I would promise him some, replied the priest.
