Good Morning..........now read and release the laughter......it's good for the soul..........
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of ALCOHOL.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette SMOKE.
The third worm was put into a container of CHOCOLATE SYRUP.
The fourth worm was put into a container of GOOD CLEAN SOIL.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - DEAD!
The second worm in cigarette smoke - DEAD!
Third worm in chocolate syrup - DEAD!
Fourth worm in good clean soil - ALIVE!
So the Minister asked the congregation, "What can you learn from this demonstration?"
Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,
"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"
That pretty much ended the service --
And yes. Maxine gets to take her coffee into church during the service.
And yes, again. There are only three cans of worms in the picture.
Thanks to my daughter-in-law.
I really needed this. Thanks.

Marilyn, I'm glad to oblige. My commentary at the end of the post is a trick I learned from the told cowboy movies. "Let's head them off at the pass."
ReplyDelete"There are only three cans of worms..."
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out. It saved me from wondering if I had had a drink I didn't remember!
Several weeks ago during worship on of my friends shoved the bulletin under my nose and pointed to the instruction to the congregation that was printed prior to the Gradual hymn. It said; "the congregation will rise and sin"....
ReplyDeleteHonest to God.
Well Suzanne, they're going to sin anyway, but to give them leave to do it right there in church seems a little strange.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mimi said, Suzanne. I took considerable liberties with the liturgy in California (and plan never to run for bishop) but I'm not THAT "progressive."
