Holy Humour
Complains
A man joined the priesthood. The order he joined could not speak for 7 years. Then they could only say 2 words. The first 7 years passed and they went into a small room. His 2 words were “too cold”.
The next 7 years passed and they took him back into the small room and his 2 words were “bad food”.
The next 7 years passed and they took him back into the small room and his 2 words were “I quit”. Good they said, “all you have done is complain.”
Sunday Quote
If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul. – Isaac Asimov
Sunday Joke
Great view from up here.
Jesus, hanging on the cross, spots Peter in the crowd at the bottom of the hill. “Peter,” he calls. “Peter.” Peter hears his name and replies, “I hear, Lord, I’m coming,” and starts up the hill toward the cross. A Roman guard blocks Peter’s way and says, “Stop, or I’ll cut off your arm.” But Peter says, “I must go on, my Lord is calling me,” and tries to pass the guard, who cuts off his arm with a sword.
Jesus calls again, “Peter, Peter…” so Peter continues, bleeding and in terrible pain, up the hill toward the cross. Another guard blocks his way and says, “Stop, or I’ll cut off your other arm.” Peter ignores this, saying, “I must go on, my Lord is calling me.” As Peter tries to pass the second guard, the guard cuts off his other arm with his sword. Jesus calls again, “Peter…,” so Peter, getting weak from the pain, continues up the hill. A third guard blocks his way and says, “Stop, or I’ll cut off your leg.” Peter says to the guard, “I must go on, my Lord is calling me.” As Peter tries to continue up the hill, the guard cuts off his leg. Peter falls in a heap of pain and blood, but still manages to push and drag himself up the hill toward the cross with his one remaining leg. Jesus calls again,
“Peter… Peter…” Peter replies, “I hear, Lord, I’m coming.” Another guard steps in front of Peter and says, “Stop, or I’ll cut off your other leg.” Peter squirms top try to pass the guard, so the guard cuts off Peter’s other leg. In excruciating pain, Peter uses sheer willpower to drag his mutilated body to the base of the cross.
Panting, he raises his eyes toward Jesus and says, “I am here, Lord. I have answered your call. Jesus looks down at Peter and says, “Peter… I can see your house from here!”
