Jonah

One time, she was sitting next to a man. When he saw her pull out her Bible, he gave a little chuckle and smirk and went back to what he was doing.
After awhile, he turned to her and asked, "You don't really believe all that stuff in there do you?"
The lady replied, "Of course I do. It is the Bible."
He said, "Well, what about that guy that was swallowed by that whale?"
She replied, "Oh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that, it is in the Bible."
He asked, "Well, how do you suppose he survived all that time inside the whale?"
The lady said, "Well, I don't really know. I guess when I get to heaven, I will ask him."
"What if he isn't in heaven?" ; the man asked sarcastically.
"Then you can ask him," replied the lady.

Lord's Prayer

I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, the Lord's Prayer. For several evenings, at
bedtime, she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer:
"Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us from e-mail. Amen."

 New York's Lawyer

A New York Divorce Lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. Saint Peter asks him "What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?"

The Lawyer thought a moment, then said, "A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street." Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the record, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that this was true. Saint Peter said, "Well, that's fine, but it's not really quite enough to get you into Heaven." The Lawyer said, "Wait! There's more! Three years ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter." Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back, affirming this, too, had been verified.

Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?" Gabriel gave the Lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter, "Let's give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell."
 

 

 

Four Tibetan Monks     Four monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the prayer flag on the roof started flapping. The younger monk came out of his meditation and said: "Flag is flapping"   A more experienced monk said: "Wind is flapping"
A third monk who had been there for more than 20 years said: "Mind is flapping."
The fourth monk who was the eldest said, visibly annoyed: "Mouths are flapping!"

 

Isolated Monastery    An aspiring Monk wanted to deeper faith. He went to a isolated Monastery and head Monk told him: You can stay here but we have one important rule - all observe a vow of silence. You will be allowed to speak in 5 years. After serving for 5 long yeas, the day came when the Monk could say his one thing or ask his one question.
He said: "The bed is too hard."
He kept going for another 5 years of hard service and discipline and he got the opportunity to speak again. He said: "The food is not good."
Five more years of hard work and he got to speak again. Here are his words after 15 years of service: "I quit."
His head Monk quickly answered: "Good, all you have been doing anyway is complaining."
 

 

God's Face    A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's artwork. As she got to one little boy who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The boy replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from his drawing, the little boy replied, "They will in a minute."

 

 Ssssshhhhh
A Sunday School teacher asked his little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little boy replied, "Because people are sleeping."

 

Quiet      Six-year old Angie and her four-year old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?"

Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."

 

There was a painter named Wayne who was very interested
in making a penny where he could, so he often thinned
down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.

 
As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but
eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration
job on one of their biggest buildings.

Wayne put in a bid, and, because his
price was so low, he got the job. 

 
So he set about erecting the scaffolding and setting up
the planks, and buying the paint and, yes, I am
sorry to say, thinning it down with turpentine.


Well, Wayne was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the
job nearly completed, when suddenly there was a
horrendous clap of thunder, the sky opened, and the
rain poured down washing the thinned paint from all
over the church and knocking Wayne clear off the
scaffold to land on the lawn among the gravestones,
surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint.
 

Wayne was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from
the Almighty, so he got down on his knees and cried:

"Oh, God, forgive me; what should I do?"

 

 And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke... 



"Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!"
