DECISION AND COMMITMENT
The Salvation Army Officer in New Lynn (Auckland) started his sermon by putting a cartoon on the screen:
A chicken and a pig were going to start a restaurant. The pig asked the chicken, “What are we going to call the place?” “Eggs and bacon,” was the prompt reply. “No”, said the pig, “for you that is only a decision, but for me that is a commitment.”
I get the point! Do you?
I hope you do!
