It may be that it's just so daggone cold up there that it makes people crazy. It's currently 6° F in Duluth.

To all Christians in Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin: Haven't you ever heard the phrase "turn the other cheek"? That was the Lord talking, and you should pay attention to what He said.

To all Christians in Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin: Haven't you ever heard the phrase "turn the other cheek"? That was the Lord talking, and you should pay attention to what He said.

A successful Irish boxer on one occasion was converted, and he grew in faith and became a preacher of the gospel. He happened to be in a new town setting up his evangelistic tent, and a couple of tough thugs noticed what he was doing. Knowing nothing of the evangelist's background, they made a few insulting remarks to him. The Irishman merely turned and looked at them. Pressing his luck, one of the bullies took a swing and struck a glancing blow on one side of the ex-boxer's face. He shook it off and said nothing as he stuck out his jaw to him again. The fellow took another glance and blew him on the side of the cheek. At that point, the preacher swiftly took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and announced: 'The Lord gave me no further instructions' - bang!

Turning the other cheek isn't a suicide pact.
