Inspiration

The Season of Advent was beginning, and I wanted to inform the children that, according the Bible, Jesus is coming twice, once as the baby in the manger, and then as King.

So I asked the children, "How did Jesus come the first time?"

One child answered, "Down the chimney."

"Every time we use religion to draw a line to keep people out, Jesus is with the people on the other side of that line."

Today on the way to work, I thought I saw a headline that read "Beer Recall."

It actually read "Beef Recall."

The story explained the discovery of mad cow disease in the United States. Mad cow disease is a condition that causes wasting away of the brain, leading to dementia, loss of coordination, and death.

Now, will somebody please explain to me why they're not recalling beer?

I was scolding our pastor for his habit of starting church services late.

I mentioned that in my years with the Air Force, when the general scheduled us to take off at 0700 hours, he didn't mean 0705 or 0710.

The pastor looked at me and said, "My general outranks your general."
