Deutero Q

During a recent Sunday school class, our teacher emphasized Philippians 2:14: "Do everything without complaining or arguing"

She then passed out rubber bands and asked class members to put them on their wrist. She also instructed us to move the rubber band to the oppostie wrist whenever we complained during the week! The point was to take seriously the scriptural injunction about not complaining.

Of course one could go even further with the rubber bands: every time we complain, we could add a new rubber band to our wrist--in which case, many of us would have our arms covered by week's end. Ouch!
