Tournament Weather
Our pastor, an avid golfer, was
once taking part in a local tournament. As he was preparing to tee off,
the organizer of the tournament approached him and pointed to the dark,
threatening storm clouds that were gathering.
"Preacher," the organizer said,
"I trust you'll see to it that the weather won't turn bad on us."
Our pastor shook his head.
"Sorry," he replied. "I'm sales, not management!"

The Preacher's Donkey
A man bought a donkey from a
preacher. The preacher told the man that this donkey had been trained in a
very unique way (being the donkey of a preacher).
The only way to make the donkey go
was to say, "Hallelujah!" The only way to make the donkey stop was to
say, "Amen!"
The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the animal to
try out the preacher's instructions. "Hallelujah!" shouted the man.
The donkey began to trot. "Amen!" shouted the man. The donkey stopped
immediately.
"This is great!" said the man. With a "Hallelujah" he rode off, very proud
of his new purchase.
The man traveled for a long time
through the mountains. As he headed towards a cliff, he tried to
remember the word to make the donkey stop.
"Stop," said the man. "Halt!" he
cried. The donkey just kept going. "OH, NO . . ."
"Bible...Church!...Please! Stop!!" shouted the man. The
donkey just began to trot faster. He was getting closer and
closer to the edge of the cliff.
Finally, in desperation, the man
said a prayer: "Please, dear Lord. Please make this donkey stop before I go
off the end of this mountain. In Jesus' name, AMEN."
The donkey came to an abrupt stop
just one step from the edge of the cliff.
"HALLELUJAH!" shouted the man.

Teasing
A ten year old boy and his
thirteen year old sister , were always teasing each other. One day, the boy
getting "sensitive" about things his sister was saying to him. I reminded
him that he had said the same types of things many times in days past.
With quiet reflection, he spoke a
gospel truth: "But it doesn't hurt as much coming out of my mouth as it does
going into my ears."
