Redding California

In church on Sunday morning the preacher started out by asking:
"How many of you have forgiven your enemies?" 

About 50% held up their hands.

Somewhere in the middle of the sermon, he again asked: "How many
of you have forgiven your enemies?"

About 80% held up their hands.

Toward the end of the church service, the minister repeated the question
and all responded by raising their hands except one small, elderly lady "Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"  the minister asked.

"I don't have any," she replied, smiling sweetly.

"Mrs. Jones, that is indeed unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety-eight " she replied.

"Mrs. Jones, would you come down front and tell the congregation how a
person can live for ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"

The little lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, smiled sweetly and said, "I outlived the bitches."
