| God is sitting in heaven when a scientist prays to Him. "God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning." "Oh, is that so? Tell Me..." replies God. "Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt & form it into the likeness of you and breath life into it, thus creating man." "Well, that's very interesting...show Me." So the scientist bends down to the earth & starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man. "No, no, no..." interrupts God, "get your own dirt." |
| Churchianity Quickies... 1. Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to get into their pews or their favorite church parking spot. 2. Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers. 3. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one. 4. We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers. 5. When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there. 6. People are funny. They want the front of the bus, middle of the road, and the back of the church. 7. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on your door for years. 8. Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong. 9. The phrase that is guaranteed to wake up an audience: "And in conclusion." 10. If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has. 11. Not only are the sins of the fathers visited upon the children, but nowadays the sins of the children are visited upon the fathers. 12. God Himself does not propose to judge a man till he's dead. So why should you? 13. To make a long story short, don't tell it. 14. If your left hand doesn't know what your right one is doing, you should consider running for a job in Washington. 15. Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. 16. I don't know why some people change churches. What difference does it make which one you stay home from? 17. A lot of church members are singing "Standing on the Promises" while they are just sitting on the premises. |

| While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I
was interrupted by a little girl about six years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you
a cop?" "Yes," I answered and continued writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right," I told her. "Well, then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you please tie my shoe?" |

| "After a morning worship service, a mother with a fidgety seven-year-old boy told her Pastor how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered, 'If you don't be quiet, the Pastor is going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all over again!' It worked." |
| Somebody has well said that there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning!" |

Chain Letter, addressed to *Pastor Search Committee*
If your pastor does not measure up, simply send this letter to six other churches that are tired of their pastor, too. Then bundle up your pastor and send him to the church at the top of the list. In one year, you will receive 1,643 pastors and one of them should be perfect. WARNING!!! Keep this letter going! One church broke the chain and got its old pastor back in less than three months. |
| Kids' letters to God Dear GOD, I read the Bible. What does 'begat' mean? Nobody will tell me. -Love, Alison Dear GOD, Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? -Norma Dear GOD, Who draws the lines around the countries? -Nan Dear GOD, My brother is a rat. You should give him a tail. Ha ha. -Danny Dear GOD, You don't have to worry about me. I always look both ways. -Dean Dear GOD, I think about You sometimes even when I'm not praying. -Elliott Dear GOD, We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said you did it.

That's what I would do. -Eddie Dear GOD, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool! -Eugene |

Cop: "Sister, that's not the speed limit, that's the number of the highway you're on!" Sister: "Oh! Silly me! Thanks for letting me know. I'll be more careful." At this point the cop looks in the back seat where he saw two other nuns, trembling like they were having nervous breakdowns. Cop: "One more thing, Sister... what's wrong with your friends back there? They're shaking something terrible." Sister: "Oh, we just got off of Highway 99." |

| Good Morning Lord, Thank you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty of food to eat. Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty of nice clothes to wear. And I would like to thank you, Lord, for these unmade beds; they were so warm and comfortable last night. I know that many have no bed. My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom, complete with all the splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty lavatory; they are so convenient. Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs cleaning. It has served us faithfully for many years. It is full of cold drinks and enough leftovers for two or three meals. Thank you, Lord, for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned today; it has baked so many delicious meals over the years. Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me says You have richly blessed my family. I shall do them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully. Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden. Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, Toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud, Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely. Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, Thank you, Lord for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job. Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were better, Thank you, Lord, for life. |
