Hot Down Here...

Mr. Johnson, a businessman from Wisconsin, went on a business trip to Louisiana. He immediately sent an e-mail back home to his wife, Jennifer.

Unfortunately, he miss typed a letter and the e-mail ended up going to a Mrs. Joan Johnson, the wife of a preacher who had just passed away. The preacher's wife took one look at the e- mail and promptly fainted. When she was finally revived, she nervously pointed to the message, which read: "Arrived safely, but it sure is hot down here."

THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER HEAR IN CHURCH:

10. Hey! It's MY turn to sit on the front pew!

9. I was so enthralled, I never noticed your sermon went over time 25 minutes.

8. Personally, I find witnessing much more enjoyable than golf.

7. I've decided to give our church the $500.00 a month I used to send to TV evangelists.

6. I volunteer to be the permanent teacher for the Junior High Sunday School class.

5. Forget the denominational minimum salary: let's pay our pastor so she/he can live like we do.

4. I love it when we sing hymns I've never heard before!

3. Since we're all here, let's start the worship service early!

2. Pastor, we'd like to send you to this Bible seminar in the Bahamas.

. . . And the number one thing you probably never heard in Church:

1. Nothing inspires me and strengthens my commitment like our annual stewardship campaign!
