Today is Monday, January 24th, 2011; Karen's Korner #1996
First day of the week, a good opportunity to share a couple of 'Holy Humor' items, taken from an email forwarded by Mariel Betts:
A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?"
A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy.
"Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked.
"You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "
***
People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.
The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt."
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about.
He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."
***
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner."
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

And something forwarded to us by Jana Burkheimer (we had just heard about this from my sister and brother-in-law a few hours before):
This year we will experience 4 unusual dates....
1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11,
11/11/11 .........
NOW go figure this out ....
take the last 2 digits of the year you were born
plus the age you will be this year,
and it WILL EQUAL .... 111!
****
NO MATTER HOW YOU DO IT, IT'S 111 .... Strange!!
No doubt!
