Thoughts, like fleas, jump from man to man, but they don't bite everybody.

I should rather labor as another's serf, in the home of a man without fortune, one whose livelihood was meager, than rule over all the departed dead.

I've always been interested in people, but I've never liked them.

Hope is the poor man's bread.

The preacher was wired for sound with a
lapel
mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform,
jerking
the mike cord as he went.
Then he moved to one side,
getting wound up in the cord and nearly
tripping before jerking it
again. After several circles and jerks, a little
girl in the third
pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he
gets loose, will
he hurt us?"

The Baptist preacher just finished his
sermon for the day and
proceeded toward the back of the church for his
usual greetings and
handshaking as the congregation left the church.
After shaking a few adult
hands he came upon the seven year old son
of one of the Deacons of the
church.
"Good morning,
Jonathan," the preacher said as he reached out to
shake Joanthan's hand.
As he was doing do he felt something in the palm of Jonathan's
hand.
"What's this?" the preacher asked.
"Money," said
Jonathan with a big smile on his face, "It's for
you!"
"I
don't want to take your money, Jonathan," the preacher answered.
"I want you to have it," said Jonathan. After a short pause Jonathan
continued, "My daddy says you're the poorest preacher we ever had
and
I want to help you."

Jesus saw a crowd chasing down a woman
to stone her and approached them. "What's going on here, anyway?" he
asked.
"This woman was found committing adultery, and the law
says we should
stone her!" one of the crowd
responded.
"Wait," yelled Jesus. "Let he who is without sin cast the first
stone."
Suddenly, a stone was thrown from out of the sky, and knocked
the woman
on the side of her head.
"Aw, c'mon, Dad..." Jesus
cried, "I'm trying to make a point
here!"

Johnny was asked
by his mother what he
had learned in Sunday School.
"Well, mum, our teacher told us
how God sent Moses behind enemy lines
on a rescue mission to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt.
"When he got to the Red Sea he had his
engineers build a pontoon
bridge and all the people walked across
safely. Then he used his
walkie-talkie to radio headquarters for
reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow
up the bridge and saved the
Israelites."
"Now, Johnny, is that really what your teacher
taught you?" his
mother asked.
"Well, no, mom, but if I told
it the way the teacher did, you'd never
believe it."

There's
this old priest who got sick of
all the people in his parish
who kept confessing to adultery. One
Sunday, in the pulpit, he said,
"If I hear one more person confess to
adultery, I'll quit!"
Well, everyone liked him, so they came
up with a code word. Someone
who had committed adultery would say
they had "fallen."
This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things
went well, until the
priest died at a ripe old age. About a week
after the new priest
arrived, he visited the mayor of the town and
seemed very concerned.
The priest said, "You have to do something
about the sidewalks in
town. When people come into the confessional,
they keep talking about
having fallen."
The mayor started to
laugh, realizing that no one had told the new
priest about the code
word.
Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an
accusing finger at
the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're l
aughing about, your
wife fell three times this week."
