Every Sunday the pastor would observe a particular man and his wife, holding hands. And they held hands all through the service. It made him happy to see two such loving old folks.

One Sunday, greeting the congregation as they filed out the door, the pastor said to Sam and Sara, "It sure does my heart good to see two such loving people as you. It's quite an inspiration."

She looked up at him and grinned, saying, "That ain't love, Pastor. It's the only way I can keep him from cracking his knuckles during the service."
