JOKES YOU CAN TELL IN CHURCH
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as
she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she
prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me
be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb
and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up,
brushed herself off, and started running again. As she ran she once
again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't
shove me either!"
Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The
first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he
calls it a poem, they give him $50." The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words
on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100."
The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few
words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon. And it takes eight people
to collect all the money!"
An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she
requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial
service, she wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I
don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.
A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if
you had to arrest your own mother?" He said, "Call for backup."
A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took
Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied: "They couldn't
get a baby sitter."
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with
her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy
father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us
how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little
boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."
At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything,
including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told
him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the
week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and
said, "Johnny, what is the matter?" Little Johnny responded, "I
have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a
strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, "What do you
think about all this Satan stuff?" The other boy replied, "Well, you
know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your dad.
