Worms
A Baptist minister
decided that a visual demonstration would add
emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were
placed into four separate jars. The first worm was
put into a jar of alcohol. The second worm was put
into a jar of cigarette smoke, the third worm was
put into a jar of chocolate syrup. The fourth worm
was put into a jar of good clean soil. At the
conclusion of the Sermon, the Minister reported the
following results: The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead. Third
worm in chocolate syrup - Dead. Fourth worm in good
clean soil - Alive. So the Minister asked the
congregation, "What can you learn from this
demonstration?" A little old woman in the back
quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you
drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have
worms!"
Don't you just love

Who is the Real Virgin?
A ten-year-old, under the tutelage of her grandmother,

King James Virgin?"
Mailing Breakables
There was a very gracious lady who was

Minister gets a
parking ticket.
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. Then he put a note
under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled
the block 10 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 10 years. If I
don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not
into temptation."
Good News, Bad News
There is the story of a pastor 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."
Amish Bumper Sticker
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 back of the carriage was a hand printed
sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and
grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."
Long
Trip
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. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a
vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so
sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone
waits until the last minute to get ready for a
long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you
mean. It's the same in my business."
Comforter
Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very
young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter
answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt."
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the
day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him
what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He
said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."
Star Spangled Banner
The minister was preoccupied with
thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to
come up with more money than they were expecting for
repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was
annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a
substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The
substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a
copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll
have to
think of something to play after I make the announcement
about the finances." During the service, the
minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are
in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much
as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who
can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that
moment, the substitute organist played "The Star
Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute
became the regular organist! |
