Church Readings
Over the massive front doors of a church, these words were
inscribed: "The Gate of Heaven". Below that was a small
cardboard sign which read: "Please use other entrance."
Rev. Warren J. Keating, Pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Yuma, AZ, says that the best prayer he ever heard
was: "Lord, please make me the kind of person my dog thinks
I am."
A Woman went to the Post Office to buy stamps for her
Christmas cards. "What Denomination?" Asked the clerk. "Oh,
good heavens! Have we come to this?" said the woman. "Well
give me 50 Baptist and 50 Catholic ones."
On a very cold, snowy Sunday in February, only the pastor
and one farmer arrived at the village church. The pastor
said, "Well, I guess we won't have a service today." The
farmer replied: "Heck, if even only one cow shows up at
feeding time, I feed it."
During a children's sermon, Rev. Larry Eisenberg asked the
children what "Amen" means. A little boy raised his hand and
said: "It means - 'Tha-tha-tha-that's all folks!' "
A student was asked to list the 10 Commandments in any
order. His answer? "3, 6, 1, 8, 4, 5, 9, 2, 10, 7".
I was at the beach with my children when my four-year-old
son ran up to me, grabbed my hand, and led me to the shore,
where a sea gull lay dead in the sand. "Mommy, what happened
to him?" the little boy asked. "He died and went to Heaven,"
I replied. My son thought a moment and then said, "And God
threw him back down?"
Bill Keane, creator of the Family Circus cartoon strip tells
of a time when he was penciling one of his cartoons and his
son Jeffy said, "Daddy, how do you know what to draw?" I
said, "God tells me." Jeffy said, "Then why do you keep
erasing parts of it?"
After the church service, a little boy told the pastor:
"When I grow up, I'm going to give you some money." "Well,
thank you," the pastor replied, "but why?" "Because my daddy
says you're one of the poorest preachers we've ever had."
My wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she
turned to our six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you
like to say the blessing?" I wouldn't know what to say,"
she replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," my wife
said. Our daughter bowed her head and said: "Dear Lord, why
on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
