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.

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.

The pastor looked at me and said, "My general outranks your general."
"Waking up when you are a parent is like being shot out of a cannon every morning right into the middle of the circus and immediately begin handed flaming batons to juggle."
