A priest goes to visit an older member of his congregation at her house. He knocks on her door and she invites him in with a big smile on her face. ""Father Johnson! It's so nice to see you here!"" says the old lady. ""To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"" ""Well, Mrs. Smith, I've been preaching sermons at St. Mary's for 35 years and not once did you miss any of them until last month. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay with you,"" said the priest. ""Oh, I'm fine,"" replied the elder woman. ""You see in my old age I just can't make it out as much anymore. Besides, I've memorized every one of your lectures. To pass the time these days, I just sit here looking out my window and think about the different scriptures you've spoken about while enjoying my snacks."" The old woman points to a bowl of plain peanuts on the end table next to her favorite chair. ""Well, Mrs. Smith, if you'd let me, I'd like to talk to you about my latest sermon. It's actually about you and your undying faith all these years. Would you allow me to ask you a few questions?"" said the priest."" ""OH HEAVENS! Absolutely! I'm honored to be a part of your latest sermon!"" replied the woman. The woman poured some iced tea for the two of them, and for the next hour they spoke about life experiences, her late husband, her grandchildren, everything an older woman holds dear to her. After every question the priest asked, he'd help himself to a handful of peanuts. After a while, the priest looks down and sees an empty bowl in front of him. ""I'm so sorry Mrs. Smith. I've been so interested in our conversation, I seem to have finished all of your peanuts!"" ""Oh father, that's quite alright,"" replied the woman. ""I only eat the chocolate off of them anyway.""
