Because I believe in a laughing God and because I believe that laughter is a basic building block of human nature and because I believe that laughing can and does heal all wounds … I offer each Saturday a “lighter side of life.” Have a great and enjoyable Saturday – celebrate today like there is no tomorrow!
One of favorite preacher stories goes like this:
The preacher was into his sermon when a young mother with a crying baby gets up from her pew and begins to leave the sanctuary. Just before she reaches the back door the preacher stops his sermon and states, “Madam, you don’t have to leave. Your crying baby isn’t bothering me!” To which she responded, “No, but your preaching is bothering him!”
And then there is the old story – told probably too many times from the pulpit:
The four gentlemen were playing their regular Friday afternoon round of golf when at the fifth hole a funeral procession passed by. Upon seeing the funeral procession Tom stops playing, takes off his hat, covers his heart and bows his head. The other three men were surprised and said, “Tom that is such a respectful and decent thing to do. We didn’t know you were so religious.” To which Tom responded, “Well, it is the least I could do after all we were married for 35 years.”
And finally, a new one to me is this one:
“His wife’s graveside service was just barely finished, when there was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance. The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, ‘Well, she’s there.’”
