A Backslider Monday
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
A backslider suddenly began attending church faithfully on Sunday mornings instead of going fishing. The pastor was highly gratified and told him, "How wonderful it makes me feel to see you at services with your good wife!"
"Well, Preacher," said the fisherman, "it's a matter of choice. I'd rather hear your sermon than hers."
Scripture 
There was once a general store in central Kansas back around 1900. The
owner was an elderly man who went to church for a long time. The store
always had those two or three "older gentlemen" that you always see on
the front porch talking about "the war" or how it used to be. Anyway,
this certain storeowner had the habit of quoting Scripture every time he
made a transaction, and it was always a different verse.
It got to where the old men on the porch came in every time a
customer showed up just to hear what the verse was going to be. Well,
one day, a Texan came in and inquired about the rug that was hanging on
the wall. The man asked about the price of the rug, and the owner told
him $400. But, the owner and the old men all knew that the true worth
was about $200. So the Texan thought it over and said, "I'll take it!"
He bought the rug and left the store.
The old men stared at the owner in anticipation of what possible
Scripture could follow such a dishonest act. The owner said, "He was a
stranger, and I took him in."
The Baseball Game
St. Peter and Satan were having an argument one day about baseball. Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral grounds between a select team from the heavenly host and his own hand-picked boys.
"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches."
"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered. "We've got all the umpires."
Have a Blessed Day
