Humor for the hard times
There once was a pious young priest
Who lived almost wholly on yeast
He said: "It is plain,
We must all rise again.
And I wanted to get started at least."
:)
A pastor was suddenly called away and unable to officiate at the Sunday service in his church. He entrusted his new assistant pastor with that duty.
When he returned home the following week, he asked his wife what she thought of his young assistant's sermon.
"The poorest I ever heard," she said. "Nothing in it at all. It didn't even make sense."
Later that day, the pastor met his assistant, and asked him how he had
managed the previous Sunday.
"Fine, sir, absolutely wonderful," the young priest replied. "I didn't
have time to prepare a sermon myself, so I preached one of your old
sermons."
