Here is today's CleanLaugh - "Army Fib"

While my six-year-old daughter of the space age and I were reviewing some old photographs, we came across a picture of me when I was a captain in the Army Reserves.

"Daddy, were you in a war?"

"Yes," I fibbed, just to see what her reaction would be.

Wide-eyed, she gasped, "Against what planet?"

Today's CleanPun

Consider, if you will, the case of the awkward bumble-bee who became ill while gathering pollen but continued to work.

Unfortunately, he thus infected all the flowers with his virus.

The consequences are recorded in the annals of horticulture as . . . the blight of the fumble bee.

Today's One Liner

"When the space shuttle finally lands, everybody wear ape suits.... pass it on!"

Today's CleanQuote

"It is possible to do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life."

Today's Illustration - "Soul Winning Efforts"

Featured Illustration items are well suited for introducing or illuminating a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

A very zealous soul-winning young preacher recently came upon a farmer working in his field. Being concerned about the farmer's soul, the preacher asked the man, "Are you laboring in the vineyard of the Lord, my good man?"

Not even looking at the preacher and continuing his work, the farmer replied, "Naw, these are soybeans."

"You don't understand," said the preacher. "Are you a Christian?"

With the same amount of interest as his previous answer, the farmer said, "Nope my name is Jones. You must be lookin' for Jim Christian. He lives a mile south of here."

The young, determined preacher tried again, asking the farmer, "Are you lost?"

"Naw! I've lived here all my life," answered the farmer.

"Are you prepared for the resurrection?" the frustrated preacher asked.

This caught the farmer's attention and he asked, "When's it gonna be?"

Thinking he had accomplished something, the young preacher replied, "It could be today, tomorrow or the next day."

Taking a handkerchief from his back pocket and wiping his brow, the farmer remarked, "Well, don't mention it to my wife. She don't get out much, and she'll wanna go all three days."
