| Mamma's Bible Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away in another city. The first said, "I had a big house built for Mamma." The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house." The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her." The fourth said, "You know how Mamma loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mamma just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it. The other brothers were impressed. After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote: "Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway." "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks." "Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same." "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you." |
Lord, don't let me be late
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was
running as fast as she could, trying not to be
late for Sunday School. As she ran she
prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be
late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!"
As she was running and praying, she tripped on
a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and
tearing her dress. She got up, brushed
herself off, and started running again. As she
ran, she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord
please don't let me be late!...But don't shove
me either."

Recruitng
A man had died and went up to heaven. An angel
was there and showed him around. He saw
people in serenity, playing music, having a nice
time. Then he says, "Now I'll show you Hell"
He gets there, he's sees a lot of people
drinking, smoking, partying & having fun. He
also noticed a lot of his friends there. The
devil is there leading the huge crowd. He gets
back to heaven and the angel asks "Which
place do you want to go?" He thinks for a
second and says, "I'll go to hell, It looks cool
down there!"
He goes back, but this time, people are
screaming in pain, gnashing their teeth and
being heavily tortured. Realizing that he can't
come back he says to the devil, "It wasn't like
this yesterday!"
The devil says, "Yesterday was the day of
recruitment, Today is the day of employment!"

Little Bobby
Little Bobby came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner. His birthday was coming
up and he thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted.
“Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.”
Little Bobby was a bit of a trouble maker. He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.
Bobby’s mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday. Little Bobby,
of course, thought he did. Bobby’s mother, being a Christian woman, wanted Bobby to reflect on
his behavior over the year.
“Go to your room, Bobby, and think about how you have behaved this year. Then write a letter to
God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your birthday." Little Bobby stomped up the steps to
his room and sat down to write God a letter.
LETTER 1
Dear God,
I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my birthday. I want a red one.
Your Friend, Bobby
Bobby knew that this wasn’t true. He had not been a very good boy this year, so he tore up the
letter and started over.
LETTER 2
Dear God,
I have been an “OK” Boy this year. I still would really like a bike
for my birthday. Bobby
Bobby knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Bobby wrote a third letter.
LETTER 3
Dear God,
I know I haven’t been a good boy this year. I am very sorry. I will be a good boy if you just send
me a bike for my birthday please.
Thank you, Bobby
Bobby knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike. Now, Bobby was very
upset. He went down stairs and told his Mom that he wanted to go to church. Bobby’s mother
thought her plan had worked, as Bobby looked very sad. “Just be home in time for dinner, “ Bobby’
s mother told him. Bobby walked down the street to the church on the corner. Little Bobby went
into the church and up to the alter. He looked around to see if any one was there. Bobby bent
down and picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary. He slipped the statue under his shirt and ran out
of the Church, down the street, into the house, and up to his room. He shut the door to his and
sat down with a piece of paper and a pen and began to write his letter to God.
LETTER 4
God,
I'VE GOT YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE. Bobby

Giving Thanks
A cat died and went to heaven. At the gate, he
told God how he had been abused all his life on
earth - people swept him with broom, he had
no where to sleep, etc. God tells him he is
going to make his life very comfortable in
heaven. The next day 6 mice came to heaven.
They gave God a similar story about their
hard life on earth - how they had to be running
all the time because cats were constantly
chasing them. God tells them he'll make their
life comfortable. They ask that he give them
skates so that they wouldn't have to do much
walking or running anymore. God granted their
request, fitting them with skates. A week
later God was passing by and found the cat
comfortably resting. He asked the cat how
things were going. The cat says, "Oh
wonderful, God, and by the way, those meals
on wheels that you sent me were delicious!"

Grace
A man died and approached the Pearly
Gates. St. Peter told him heaven was
getting crowded so he had to test people
with the point system. If he got to 100
points he could enter. The man told Peter
that he gave to the poor. Peter marked him
down for 3 points. The man thought again,
then said that he tithed. Peter added one
point. The man, desperately searching his
memory, finally said that he never cussed.
Peter added 1/2 a point. By now the man
got very frustrated and said that at this
rate he could only get in by the grace of
God. Peter replied, "Come on in!"

Luck would have it
Three guys die together and go to heaven....
St. Peter says, "We only have one
rule...don't step on the ducks as they are
God's favorite creation."
They enter heaven and see ducks
everywhere, and it's almost impossible to
not step on a duck. The first guy
accidentally steps on one, and soon here
comes St. Peter with the biggest, ugliest
woman he'd ever seen...
St. Peter chains them together and says,
"Your punishment is to be chained to this
ugly woman forever."
The next day the second guy steps on a
duck...Sure enough, St. Peter comes with
another ugly woman and chains them
together.
Seeing this, the third guy is very, very
careful. He goes for months and doesn't
step on any ducks. One day, St. Peter
comes along with this beautiful woman:
Blonde, blue-eyed, very young and very
sexy. He chains them together and leaves
without a word.
The man remarks, "I wonder what I did to
deserve this good fortune?" And the
Blonde says, "I don't know about you, but I
stepped on a duck.

Here's to Living Healthy
An 85 year old couple, having been married
almost 60 years, die in a car crash. They had
been in good health the last ten years, mainly
due to the wife's interest in health food.
When they reached the pearly gates, St.
Peter took them to their mansion, which was
decked out with a beautiful kitchen and
master bath suite with Jacuzzi. As they
"oohed and aahed", the old man asked Peter
how much all this was going to cost.
"It's free," Peter replied, Remember, this is
Heaven."
Next they went out back to see the
championship golf course the home backed up
to. They would have golfing privileges every
day, and each week the course changed to a
new one representing the great golf courses
on Earth. The old man asked, "What are the
green fees?"
"This is heaven," St. Peter replied. "You play
for free."
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the
lavish buffet lunch with the cuisine's of the
world laid out. "How much to eat?" asked the
old man.
"Don't you understand yet?" St. Peter asked.
"This is heaven. It's free!"
"Well, where are the low fat and low
cholesterol foods?" the old man asked timidly.
"That's the best part...you can eat as much as
you like of whatever you like and you never
get fat and you never get sick. This is
Heaven."
The old man looked at his wife and said, "You
and your stupid bran muffins. I could have
been here ten years ago!

All in the name
Three ministers and their wives were just
coming back from a convention when they
got in a wreck and were all killed. All 3
couples stood in line waiting to get into
heaven. St Peter opened the books and said
to the first man: I can see that you were a
good man but had one problem. You lusted
after alcohol your whole life you never
drank but your lust was so strong you would
never marry until you met a girl named
Sherry. Sorry, you can't come in. The
second minister approached St Peter and
he said: you were a good man, but it says
here you lusted after money and your lust
was so strong that you would not marry
until you met a girl named Penny. Sorry,
you cannot come in. The third minister
turned to his wife and said: come on Fanny,
lets leave.

In the Service
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little
Alex standing in the foyer
of the church staring up at a large plaque. It
was covered with names and
small American flags mounted on either side
of it.
The six-year old had been staring at the
plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy,
and said quietly, 'Good
morning Alex.'
'Good morning Pastor,' he replied, still
focused on the plaque. 'Pastor,
what is this?'
The pastor said, 'Well son, it's a memorial to
all the young men and women
who died in the service.' Soberly, they just
stood together, staring at the
large plaque..
Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and
trembling with fear asked;
Which service, the 8:00 or the 10:15??

Get ready for church!
One Sunday morning, a mother went in to
wake her son and tell him it was time to
get ready for church, to which he replied,
'I'm not going.'
'Why not?' she asked.
I'll give you two good reasons,' he said.
'(1), they don't like me, and (2), I
don't like them.'
His mother replied, 'I'll give YOU two
good reasons why YOU SHOULD go to
church.
(1) You're 59 years old, and (2) you're the

The Usher
An elderly woman walked into the local
country church. The friendly usher
greeted her at the door and helped her up
the flight of steps, 'Where would you
like to sit?' he asked politely.
'The front row please,' she answered.
'You really don't want to do that,' the usher
said 'The pastor is really boring.'
'Do you happen to know who I am?' the
woman inquired. 'No.' he said. 'I'm the
pastor's mother,' she replied indignantly.
'Do you know who I am?' he asked. 'No.' she
said. 'Good,' he answered.

The Ugly Duckling
Three women die together in an accident
and go to heaven.
When they get there, St. Peter says, 'We!
only have one rule here in heaven:
"Don't step on the ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough,
there are ducks all over the place.
It is almost impossible not to step on a
duck, and although they try their best to
avoid them, the first woman accidentally
steps on one.
Along comes St.. Peter with the ugliest man
she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says,
'Your punishment for stepping on a duck
is to spend eternity chained to this ugly
man!'
The next day, the second woman
accidentally steps on a duck and along
comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing.
With him is another extremely ugly man. He
chains them together with the same
admonishment as for the first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and,
not wanting to be chained for all eternity
to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where
she steps. She manages to go months
without stepping on any ducks, but one day
St. Peter comes up to her with the most
handsome man she has ever laid eyes on...
very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.
St. Peter chains them together without
saying a word. The happy woman says, 'I
wonder what I did to deserve being chained
to you for all of eternity?'
The guy says, 'I don't know about you, but
I stepped on a duck!'

The Talking Centepede
A single guy decided life would be more
fun if he had a pet.So he went to the
pet store and told the owner that he
wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought
a talking centipede, (100-legged bug),
which came in a little white box
to use for his house.
He took the box back home, found a
good spot for the box, and decided he
would start off by taking his new pet to
church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box,
"Would you like to go to church with me
today? We will have a good time." But
there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited
a few minutes and then asked again,
"How about going to church with me
and receive blessings?" But again, there
was no answer from his new friend and
pet. So he waited a few minutes more,
thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede
one last time.This time he put his face
up against the centipede's house and
shouted, "Hey, in there! Would you like
to go to church with me and learn about
God?" This time, a little voice came out
of the box,
"I heard you the first time!
I'm putting on my shoes!"

today? We will have a good time." But
there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited
a few minutes and then asked again,
"How about going to church with me
and receive blessings?" But again, there
was no answer from his new friend and
pet. So he waited a few minutes more,
thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede
one last time.This time he put his face
up against the centipede's house and
shouted, "Hey, in there! Would you like
to go to church with me and learn about
God?" This time, a little voice came out
of the box,
"I heard you the first time!
I'm putting on my shoes!"
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.

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!'

Hard to say goodbye
A man and his wife were visiting Israel and it
so happened that his mother-in-law died. The
mortuary man told him; "You have two options.
You can have her buried here in the Holy land
for $150 or we can have here transported
back to America for $5,000."
He thought about it long and hard and really
wanted to save the money, but he told the guy;
"I'll take her back and have her buried at
home."
The morticain asks; "You know, you could
have him buried in the same place that Moses
walked upon for a very good price. I'm just
curious, why would you want her sent back
home?"
The husband told him; "I heard 2,000 years
ago, that this guy was buried and rose again a
few days later, and I don't want to take those
chances!"

The Brutal Truth!
A man called up a bible believing
church and the church secretary
answered the call. The man on the
other end of the line said, "I’d like to
speak to the head hog."
The secretary replied, "That was
not a very nice thing to say about our
beloved pastor, Rev. Johnson."
Again the man replied, "I’d like to
speak to the head hog, because I’m
going to donate $100,000.00 to the
church.
She replied, "Hold on a moment, I
think the big fat pig just walked in."
