KIDS IN
CHURCH:
A little boy was
attending his first wedding. After the service, his
cousin asked him, "How many women can a man marry?"
"Sixteen," the boy responded. His cousin was amazed that
he knew the answer so quickly.
"How do you know that?"
"Easy," the little boy said. "All you have to do is add
it up, like the Bishop said: 4 better, 4 worse, 4
richer, 4 poorer."
After a church
service one Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly
announced to his mother, "Mom, I've decided to become a
minister when I grow up."
"That's okay with us, but what made you decide that?"
"Well," said the little boy, "I have to go to church on
Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand
up and yell, than to sit and listen."
A 6-year-old was
overheard reciting the Lord's Prayer at a church
service: "And forgive us our trash passes, as we forgive
those who passed trash against us."
A boy was
watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon. "How do
you know what to say?" he asked.
"Why, God tells me."
"Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?"
A little girl
became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and
on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and
whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he
let us go?"
After the
christening of his baby brother in church, little Johnny
sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His
father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally,
the boy replied, "That priest said he wanted us brought
up in a Christian home, and I want to stay with you
guys!"
Terri asked her
Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite
Bible stories. She was puzzled by Kyle's picture, which
showed four people on an airplane, so she asked him
which story it was meant to represent.
"The flight to Egypt," said Kyle.
"I see ... And that must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby
Jesus," Ms. Terri said. "But who's the fourth person?"
"Oh, that's Pontius-the Pilot.
The Sunday
School Teacher asks, "Now, Johnny, tell me frankly do
you say prayers before eating?"
"No sir," little Johnny replies, "I don't have to. My
Mom is a good cook."
A college drama
group presented a play in which one character would
stand on a trapdoor and announce, "I descend into hell!"
A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor
would open, and the character would plunge through.
The play was
well received. When the actor playing the part became
ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his
place. When the new actor announced, "I descend into
hell!" the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor
began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No amount
of tugging on the rope could make him descend. One
student in the balcony jumped up and yelled:
"Hallelujah! Hell is full!"
Jesus is
wandering around Jerusalem when he decides he really
needs a new robe. After looking around, he sees a sign
for "Finkelstein, the Tailor."
He goes in and
Finkelstein prepares a new robe for him that is a
perfect fit. When he asks how much he owes, Finkelstein
brushes him off: "No, no, there's no charge. But, may I
ask a small favor? Maybe whenever you give a sermon you
could just mention a little something about how your
nice robe was made by Finkelstein the Tailor."
Jesus readily
agrees and, as promised, plugs Finkelstein's robes every
time he preaches. Some months later, he is
walking through Jerusalem and happens by Finkelstein's
shop. There is a huge line of people waiting for
Finkelstein's robes. He pushes his way through the
crowd, to speak to Finkelstein.
"Jesus, Jesus,
look what a marvel you've been for business," gushes
Finkelstein. "Would you consider a partnership?" "Sure,
sure," replies Jesus. "Jesus and Finkelstein it is."
"Uh, no, no", says Finkelstein. "Finkelstein and Jesus.
After all, I am the craftsman." The two of them debate
this for some time. Among other topics, they have quite
a good theological discussion. Finally, they come to a
compromise. The next day, the new sign went up -- Lord &
Taylor.
