HUMOR
Thanks to pal Ed Myer for sending me this one. Anyone know its origin?
Even God enjoys a good laugh.
There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:
1. He called everyone "brother"
2. He liked Gospel
3. He couldn't get a fair trial
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:
1. He went into His Fathers business.
2. He lived at home until he was 33.
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his mother was sure he was God.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:
1. He talked with his hands.
2. He had wine with every meal.
3. He used olive oil.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:
1. He never cut his hair.
2. He walked around barefoot all the time.
3. He started a new religion.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:
1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories
3. He loved green pastures.
But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:
1. He had to feed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food.
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it.
3. Even when he was dead, He had to get up because there was more work for Him to do.
Amen!!!
Send me your best joke. Good humor is a crucial foodstuff for good mental health.
Enjoy the wonderful month of June - sun, warm days, long evenings, and the end of school.
Please, tell your friends and colleagues. Our biggest hurdle is getting the word out. Forward this newsletter via your email to anyone you think might enjoy it.
Godspeed,
