There is the story of a preacher who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation:
"I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, we have

The bad news is, it's

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend.
After a long wait
, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump.
"Preacher," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It
seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip."
The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."


A man dies and is met by the angel Gabriel at the Pearly Gates. Gabriel says,
"Here's how it works: You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I'll tell you how many points each item is worth. When you reach 100 points, you get in."

"Okay," the man says confidently, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart."

"That's wonderful," says the angel, "that's worth three points!"

"Only three points?!" he says, obvoiusly surprised. "Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my donations and service!"

"Terrific!" says Gabriel. "That's certainly worth a point."

"Only one point!?!!" says the man, now visibly shaken. Then he recalls, "Well, I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans."

The angel tells him, "Fantastic, that's good for two more points."

"Two points!?!?" Exasperated and defeated, the man exclaims, "at this rate the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God!"

"Bingo, 100 points! Come on in!"

People were in their pews talking at church. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the building.
Everyone started screaming and running for the exits, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil-incarnate.

Soon everyone had left the building except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.

Satan walked up to the old man and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
The man replied, "Yep, I sure do."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.
"Nope, sure ain't," said the man.
"Don't you realize I can kill with a word?" asked Satan.
"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.
"Did you know that I could cause you profound horrifying, AGONY for all eternity?!" persisted Satan.
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"And you're still not afraid?!?!" asked Satan.
"Nope," said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 44 years!


A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.
Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read:
"I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note:
"I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."
