Evangelist David Ray was a chronic worrier. He worried about the weather, his health, national affairs, and really worried everyone else. One day people noticed a remarkable change, and he no longer worried. When asked what had happened he replied, “Well, it’s simple. I hired somebody else to do my worrying for me.”<\/p>\n
“How much will it cost you?”<\/p>\n
“One thousand dollars a day.”<\/p>\n
“Man, where are you going to get that kind of money?”<\/p>\n
He replied, “I don’t know, that’s his worry.”<\/p>\n
