When it was brought out Mr. Vanderbuilt sent it back saying it was too thick. He know how is was supposed to be prepared, because he had been to France. This happened a few times until George got so angry that he cut the Potatoes razor thin and boiled them in animal fat.

Much to his surprise, Mr. Vanderbuilt liked the American variation of French Fries, which today we call potato chips.

The thing I like about this story is that George disciplined his anger and created something good-- potato chips. This also created unity between him and Mr. Vanderbuilt.

There are certainly times when we get angry or frustrated about the church, but we should not complain about it. We should use our frustrations to make the church better and more effective in its ministry to one another and to people of our community.
