One of the misconceptions about being a Christian is non-Christians think we don’t know how to have fun or have a sense of humor. Trust me, if the Big Guy can have a sense of humor when it comes to dealing with us mere mortals, so can we.

The difference for Christians is we don’t have to debase ourselves or others to generate a smile. Laughter at life or ourselves is a gift from God.

So, let’s smile a little!

Sunday Services

During the school year, the public library is open on Sunday afternoons. Signs posted around the library read, Sunday service available 1:30-5:00, September-June. One day a woman was returning some books when she noticed one of these signs, “Oh, you have Sunday service now?” she asked.

“Yes, from 1:30 to 5:00, September through June,” the librarian explained.

“I see,” she said. “And what denomination is it?”

And now for the bonus …

Yard Work

When the power mower broke and wouldn’t run, a wife kept hinting to her husband he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sank in. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When her husband arrived home the next day, he found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. He was gone only a few moments when he came out again. He handed her a toothbrush. When you finish cutting the grass,” he said, “you might as well sweep the sidewalks.”

The doctors say he will probably live, but it will be quite awhile before the casts come off.
