A JOYFUL WEEKEND

"These things have I spoken unto you,
that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full." - John 15:11

I don't usually send out a  Saturday devotional, but thought I would pass on something that might brighten your weekend up a bit.  Here's some thoughts from the lighter side of things.  Hope you get a laugh from them and have a joy-filled weekend in Christ!

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMMM.....
If you throw a cat out a car window,  does it become kitty litter?
If you choke a Smurf,  what color does it turn?
Is it OK to use the AM radio after noon?
What do chickens think we taste like?
What do people in China call their good dishes?
What do you call a male ladybug?
What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it to?
Which is the other side of the street?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

These are actual answers that kids gave to church school questions…
1. Noah's wife was Joan of Ark
2. The Fifth commandment is:  Humor thy father and mother
3. Holy acrimony is another name for marriage
4. Christians can only have one wife.  This is called monotony
5. The Pope lives in a Vacuum
6. A republican is a sinner mentioned in the Bible
7. The First Commandment:  Eve told Adam to eat the apple
8. It is sometimes difficult to hear what is being said in church because the agnostics are so bad

The new mom had a frazzled look on her face.  "The baby cries all of the time," she complained   to a friend.
"Maybe he needs to have his diaper changed more often," volunteered a sympathetic veteran.
"Change his diaper?  Oh, no, I don't have to do that yet."
"What?  You don't change his diaper?"
"Of course not," replied the mother.  "Says on the box it's good for up to 15 pounds."
 

Over the massive front doors of a church, these words were inscribed:  "The Gate of Heaven."  Below that was a small cardboard sign which read:  "Please use other entrance."

Bill Keane, creator of the Family Circus cartoon strip tells of a time when he was penciling one of his cartoons and his son Jeffy said, "Daddy, how do you know what to draw?"  I said, "God tells me."  Jeffy said, "Then why do you keep erasing parts of it?"

After the church service, a little boy told the pastor:  "When I grow up, I'm going to give you some money."  "Well, thank you," the pastor replied, "but why?"  "Because my daddy says you're one of the poorest preachers we've ever had."

Bulletin blunders:
"The outreach committee has enlisted 25 visitors to make calls on people who are not afflicted with any church."

"During the absence of our pastor, we enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing a good sermon when J.F. Stubbs supplied our pulpit."

"For those of you who have children and don't know it we have a nursery downstairs."

Have a "Wonderful DAY in Christ,"
