Today I had the opportunity to do some genealogy work.
I'll be honest. As I walked into the room, I wasn't very excited. Everyone was crowded around a bunch of laptops, and I wasn't thrilled to be joining them.
As I sat there for a few minutes, I relaxed. I watched intently as the little old man across the table from me squinted at the screen in front of him. He barely moved as he concentrated on the computer. I smiled to myself and secretly hoped that I could find some way to get genealogy to spark my interest as much as whatever was on his screen. The intensity with which he was looking at that screen just tickled my funny bone. How could family history be THAT interesting to ANYONE?
A missionary walked up to the man, "Do you need any help?"
The man slowly turned to him and replied, "Well, yeah! I can't figure out how to turn the durn thing on!"
