A mother was preparing pancakes for her daughters, Darlene, 5, and Deena, 3. The girls began to argue over who would get the first pancake.  Their mother saw the  opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my sister have the first pancake. I can wait.'  Deena turned to her sister and said, "Darlene, you be Jesus."

  A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always was to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord". My  friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor." Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?" He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss the use of the car.  His father took him to his study and said to him, "I'll make a deal with you.  You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little and get your hair cut and we'll talk about it."

After about a month the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss use of the car.  They again went to the father's study where his father said, "Son, I've been real proud of you.  You have brought your grades up, you've studied your Bible diligently, but you didn't get your hair cut".

The young man waited a moment and replied,  "You know Dad, I've been thinking about that.  You know, Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long   hair...."   To which his father replied, "Yes, and they walked every where they went."
