Humor for the hard times: The pastor’s family was given a mince pie for Christmas by a devoted parishioner who was a poor cook. The pie was dry and overspiced and had to be thrown out. Faced with being truthful and thanking the kind-hearted lady, the pastor finally said, “We appreciated your gift, and let me assure you that a mince pie like yours does not last long at our house.” —Jim Reed Cotter, AR
In a church bulletin: “At the board meeting, the agenda was adopted, the minutes were approved, and the financial secretary gave a grief report.” —via Rev. Harry Mahoney Dedham, MA
Words you would never hear from a Mother:
• “Just leave all the lights on. It makes the house look more cheery.”
• “Sure, I used to skip school a lot, too.”
• “If Nancy’s Mom says it’s okay, that’s good enough for me.”
• “I don’t have a tissue with me. Just use your sleeve.”
• “Let me smell that shirt. Yeah, it’s good for another week.”
—via Rev. Dr. Karl R. Kraft Glassboro (NJ) United Methodist Church
