Well, except maybe Jesus... Matthew 11:28-30 28 "Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. 30 For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light. (TEV) A few years ago I sat discussing church business with my pastor and my District Superintendant (Like a mini-bishop in the UMC). In my frustration I joked "Do you ever wonder if we picked up the wrong yoke?" The more time goes by, the more seriously I take that joke. Tom Blake SUNY-Binghamton
