'Holy Humor!'

A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan.
She asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and
bleeding, what would you do?"
A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, "I think I'd throw up."


A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when
he was on the Ark ?"
"No," replied Johnny.
"How could he, with just two worms?"


The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon.
One day, she asked him why. "Well, Honey," he began, proud that his daughter was so
observant of his messages.
"I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon."
"How come He doesn't answer it?" she asked.


When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family
member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).
For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli would say,
"and all girls."
This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing.
Her mother's curiosity got the best of herself and she asked, "Kelli, why do you always add the
part about all girls?"
Her response: "Because everybody always finish their prayers by saying 'All Men'!"


Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house.
Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.
When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
"Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer," said his mother.
"I don't need to," the boy replied.
"Of course, you do!" his mother insisted.
"We always say a prayer before eating at our house."
"That's at our house."
Johnny explained.
"But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook.
