Holy Humor

During these serious and troubled times, people of all faiths should remember

these four great religious truths:

  

1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's Chosen People.

2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.

4. Baptists do not recognize each other at the liquor store.

GOOD  SAMARITAN

A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan.

She asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and

bleeding, what would you do?" A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence,

"I think I'd throw up.."

DID NOAH FISH?

A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing

  

when he was on the Ark ?" "No," replied Johnny. "How could he, with just two

worms."

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most

quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23 . She gave the youngsters a month to

learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't

remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first

line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the

congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the

microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to

know."

UNANSWERED PRAYER

The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and

bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him

why. "Well, Honey," he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his

messages. "I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon." "How come He

doesn't answer it?" she asked.

BEING THANKFUL

A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers

for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?" The little boy

replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"

ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS

When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family

member, every friend, and every animal (current and past). For several weeks,

after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say, "And all girls." This

soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing. My curiosity

got the best of me and I asked her, "Kelli, why do you always add the part about

all girls?" Her response, "Because everybody always finish their prayers by

saying 'All Men'!"

SAY A PRAYER

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's

house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When

Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. "Johnny! Please

wait until we say our prayer." said his mother. "I don't need to," the boy

replied. "Of course, you do "his mother insisted. "We always say a prayer before

eating at our house." "That's at our house." Johnny explained. "But this is

Grandma's house and she knows how to cook.

THE BIBLE

Did you know that... When you carry the Bible, Satan has a headache. When you

open it, he collapses. When he sees you reading it, he faints. Let's read the

Bible every day so he keeps on fainting. Maybe one day he'll have a stroke and

never wake up.

And did you also know that when you are about to forward this email to others,

The devil will discourage you but forward it anyway.
