Funnies
Here are a few jokes and a quote that my mom sent me in an email. I couldn’t help passing them on :)
The Substitute
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to, after the worship service, ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building.
Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
Quote
"Somebody has well said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, its morning.”
Bible
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?"
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay, said his father. "So, son, what does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Daddy. It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'"

You hear lots of bad jokes as a church musician. Here is one a pastor told me:
"A mother goes into her son's room to wake him up. 'Get up son, you gotta get ready for church'
'I don't want to go to church mom'
'How come?'
'I just go in there and feel like nobody there likes me, like they're all laughing at me behind my back. It's awkward and weird.'
'Well you are just going to have to face them because you are their pastor and they are all waiting down there to hear you preach. Now GET UP AND GO TO CHURCH!'"

That was a good one! Yes, the pastor must get up and preach!
