A father was approached by  his small son who told him proudly,

"I know what  the Bible means!"
His father smiled and  replied, "What do you mean, you 'know'

what the Bible means? The son replied, "I do  know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the  Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy..." the young  boy replied excitedly," It

stands for 'Basic  Information Before Leaving Earth.'

There was a very  gracious lady who was mailing an old family

Bible  to her brother in another part of the  country..
"Is there anything breakable in here?"  asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten  Commandments." answered the  lady.

"Somebody has said  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."

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."

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."

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."

A Sunday School  teacher began her lesson with a question,

"Boys  and girls, what do we know about God?"
A hand  shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the

kindergarten boy.
"Really? How do you know?"  the teacher asked.
"You know - Our Father, who  does art in Heaven... "

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."

People want the  front of the bus, the back of the church,

and the center of attention.

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."

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!
