They only knew their healing powers. So with me. I do not want to know what there is about the process of giving that heals me. But it is my herb. And I must not try to pick it apart, but just use it and know what it does and be grateful." --Deneuve, C. Voicings Publications, Inc. Copyright, 2001. All rights reserved.

Illustration #1 deals with the subjects of 'love, desire and disappointment'. In a delightful "Peanuts" cartoon strip, Lucy says, "Guess what...If you don't tell me that you love me, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to hold my breath until I pass out!" Looking up from his piano, Shroeder says, "Breath-holding in children is an interesting phenomenon.It could indicate a metabolic disorder...A forty-milligram dose of Vitamin B6 twice a day might be helpful...I think that's probably it...You need Vitamin B6...you might also consider eating more bananas, avocados, and beef liver..." As he goes back to his piano, Lucy sighs,"I ask for love, and all I get is beef liver!" The Handbook of Pulpit Humor: 101 Humorous Sermon Illustrations. From The Editors of Sunday Sermons.

There is the story of an old shopkeeper in a small New England town who constantly could be heard talking to himself. The townspeople came to recognize this as one of the old man's eccentricities and they became used to it. But once, when a stranger asked why he was talking to himself, the old man answered, "For two perfectly good reasons. In the first place, I like to talk to a wise man. And in the second place, I like to hear a wise man talk." The Handbook of Pulpit Humor: 101 Humorous Sermon Illustrations. From The Editors of Sunday Sermons. Copyright, 1999. All rights reserved.
