A businessman once wanted somebody to fill a most important position, one of great responsibility, so he advertised & got a large number of applications. From these he picked 20 men & asked them to be at a certain place on a certain day.
On that day he went & found the 20 men there.
"Well, men," he said, "before we get on with the business, I
think we may as well have a little drink. Come on," and he set off toward
a licensed hotel nearby.
The men quickly followed, all except one who lagged behind.
"Hurry up! Aren't you coming for a drink?" the employer shouted.
"No thanks," said the man, "I'm a total
abstainer."
"Good for you," said the employer, "you're
the man I want for this job!" and he turned & left the other men all
tremendously surprised & disappointed.

ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
