      Church Anomalies

      If you are now, or have ever been a Pastor, you will certainly be keenly aware of the fact that whether it is dealing with senior citizens, adults, teenagers, juniors or the kinder garden, in the Church world there should be nothing which will surprise you!

      *A kindergarten teacher was walking around observing her classroom of children while they were drawing pictures. As she got to a four year old girl who was working diligently, she asked her what the subject of her drawing was.

      Without looking up, the girl replied; I'm drawing God. The teacher paused and said; But honey, no one knows what God looks like!

      Again, without looking up from her drawing, the girl replied; They will in a minute!

      *The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible. -- George Burns

      *A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to Church; And why is it necessary to be quiet in Church?

      Annie replied, Because people are sleeping!

      *At Sunday School they were learning how God created everything, including human beings. Johnny was especially intent when the teacher told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.

      Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said; Johnny, what is the matter?

      Johnny responded; I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.

      *It was Palm Sunday but because of a sore throat, five year old Johnny stayed home from Church with a sitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm fronds. Out of childish curiosity, Johnny asked them what they were for?

      People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by! His father told him.

      Wouldn't you know it, Johnny fumed; the one Sunday I don't go to Church and He shows up.

      *An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his dossier and not seeing his name there, accidentally sends him to Hell. It doesn't take long before the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell.

      He soon begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

      One day, God calls Satan and says; So, how are things in Hell?

      Satan replies; Hey, things are going great here! We've got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, thanks to that engineer you sent us! There's no telling what he is going to come up with next!

      What! God exclaims; You've got an engineer? That had to be a mistake! He should never have been sent to Hell, send him back to me!

      Not a chance, Satan replies; I like having an engineer on the staff and I'm keeping him!

      God insists; Send him back or I'll sue.

      Satan laughs uproariously and answers; Yeah, right! And where are you going to get a lawyer?

      *Two boys were walking home from Church after hearing a strong sermon on the devil. One said to the other; What do you think about all this Satan stuff?

      The other boy replied; Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your dad!

      *Moses as a lifeguard Sign in front of Church reading; Hell freezing over!

      *One Easter Sunday morning as the Pastor was preaching a children's sermon, he reached into his bag of props and pulled out an egg. He pointed at the egg and asked the children; What's in here?

      I know, I know! a little boy exclaimed; pantyhose!

      *An inexperienced preacher was suppose to hold a graveside burial service at a pauper's cemetery for an indigent man with no family or friends. Not knowing where the cemetery was, he made several wrong turns and got lost. When he eventually arrived an hour late, the hearse was nowhere in sight, the backhoe was next to the open hole, and the workmen were sitting under a tree eating lunch.

      The diligent young Pastor
