Enthusiasm alone.......

Late one afternoon, a medieval knight was returning to the castle, and he was a pitiful sight to see. His horse was limping and he was skewgee in the saddle. His armor was dented, his lance was broken and the proud plume on his helmet was crumpled and hung down over his face. The Lord of the castle saw him coming and rushed out to meet him. “What terrible thing has befallen you, Sir Percy?” he asked. “Oh, sire,” he said, “I have been laboring all day in your service, robbing and pillaging your enemies to the West. “You’ve been doing what!!” exclaimed the nobleman. Thinking he was hard of hearing, the knight replied, much louder, “I have been robbing and pillaging your enemies to the West.” “But I haven’t any enemies to the West,” was the horrified reply. “Oh!” said the knight. And then, “Well, I think you do now.” ooooops........pray that we will all have zeal "according to knowledge" (Ro 10:1-5) and be pleasing to the Lord!
