A man walks in to a bank, pulls his gun out and demands money from the cashier. When he's finished collecting it, he turns to the person in back of him and asks "Did you see me rob this bank?" The person says "Yes, I did" and in response, the robber shoots him.

The robber then turns to the next person in line and asks her "Did you see me rob this bank?". She says "No, but my husband did."

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
