									A Christian 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 Christian 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 puts 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 Christian 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

						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 a 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!
