There is the story of one person who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the carriage was a hand printed sign... ENERGY EFFICIANT VEHICHLE. RUNS ON GRASS AND OATS. CAUTION: DON'T STEP IN EXHAUST.
A Sunday school teacher began her lesson with a question, "boys and girls, what do we know about God?" A hand went up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy. "Really? How do you know?" The teacher asked. "You know, our Father, who does art in heaven.."
A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "sorry about the delay. It seems everyone waits till the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The reverend chuckled, "I know what you mean, It's the same in my business."
People want the front of the bus, back of the church, and the center of attention.
Somebody once figured out that we have 35 million laws trying to enforce ten commandments.
Somebody has well said that there are two kinds of people in this world: There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "good morning Lord." Then there are those who wake up and say, "good lord, it's morning."
A minister parked his car in a no parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. So he put a note under the windshield wiper which read, "I have circled this block ten times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES." When he returned he found a citation from a police officer along with this note, "I've circled this block for ten years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION."
A father was approached by his small son, who told him proudly, "I know what the bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean you 'know' what the bible means?" The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay," said the father, "what does the bible mean?" "That's easy daddy, it stands for Basic Information Before Leaving Earth."
