AFarmer Attends Church Service
A farmer decided one morning to attend a church in town. He went into town in his tattered jeans, worn out shirt and with his boots on.
The church folks were outraged by his appearance. The pastor said to the farmer: "The next time you come here, pray and ask the Lord what you should wear." The farmer agreed.
The following Sunday the farmer returned to the same church ...in his work clothes. The pastor asked: "What did the Lord say?" The farmer replied, "The Lord said he had never been to this church and didn't know what to wear."

In one of our bulletins last year, a family was writing about their missions trip they were currently on. The family's last name is Black, so the bulletin read, "News from the Blacks in Africa"
I once had a typo on my webpage, that one of my suscribers brought to my attention on Romans 8:1 There is no condemnation to whores in Christ Jesus. I did correct that rather quickly![:@]
Exactly Chuck,, but I spelled it with the W... It should have been "to those who are" and I guess I just put the whole word together...
I guess it could have fit them too... After all it's supposed to be the worlds oldest profession.
