To: Jesus, Son of Joseph
From:
Jordan Management
Consultants.
Dear
Sir:
Thank
you for submitting the resumes of the
twelve men you have chosen for managerial
positions in your new enterprise. All of
them have taken a battery of tests. We
have run the tests through our computers.
We also arranged personal interviews for
each of them with our psychologist and
vocational aptitude consultant.
The
profiles of all tests are included, and
you will want to study each of them
carefully. As part of our service, we make
some general comments for your
guidance.
It is
the opinion of the firm that most of your
nominees are lacking in background,
education and vocational aptitude for the
type of enterprise you are undertaking.
They do not have the team concept. We
would recommend that you continue your
search for persons of experience in
managerial ability and proven capability.
Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and
given to fits of temper. Andrew has
absolutely no qualities of leadership.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, place
personal interest above company loyalty.
Thomas demonstrates a questioning attitude
that would tend to undermine morale. We
feel it our duty to tell you that Matthew
had been blacklisted by the Jerusalem
Better Business Bureau; James the son of
Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus definitely have
radical leanings, and they both registered
a high score on the manic -depressive
scale.
One of
the candidates, however, shows great
potential. He is a man of ability and
resourcefulness, meets people well, has a
keen business mind, and has contact in
high places. He is highly motivated,
ambitious, and responsible. We recommend
Judas Iscariot as your controller and
right-hand man. All of the other profiles
are selfexplanatory.
We wish
you every success in your new
venture.
Sincerely,
Jordan Management Consultants.

Five
Finger Prayer
- Your
thumb is nearest to you. So begin your
prayers by praying for those closest to
you. They are the easiest to remember.
To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S.
Lewis once said, a ”sweet
duty.”
- The
next finger is the pointing finger.
Pray for those who teach, instruct and
heal. This includes teachers, doctors
and clergy. They need support and
wisdom in pointing others in the right
direction. Keep them in your prayers.
- The
next finger is the tallest finger. It
reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the
president, leaders in business and
industry, and administrators. These
people shape our nation and guide
public opinion. They need God’s
guidance.
- The
fourth finger is our ring finger.
Surprising to many is the fact that
this is our weakest finger; as any
piano teacher will testify. It should
remind us to pray for those who are
weak, in trouble or in pain. They need
your prayers day and night. You cannot
pray too much for them.
- And
lastly comes our little finger; the
smallest finger of all, which is where
we should place ourselves in relation
to God and others. As the Bible says,
“the least shall be the greatest
among you.” Your pinky should
remind you to pray for yourself. By the
time you have prayed for the other four
groups your own needs will be put into
proper perspective and you will be able
to pray for yourself more
effectively.
PRAYER-DISCUSSION
GROUP Would
you like to try a faith-sharing group that
includes a blend of praise, song,
scripture, petitions, talk, etc.? This
group meets on Thursday evenings from 7:30
to 9 pm .at Marymount Green Hills
Retirement Center. Call Fran or Joe Sigona
at 692-2466.
