Today's Christian, March/April 2006

Lite Fare
Humor from our readers.
March/April 2006

Grand Entrance
It was my son's wedding, and everyone was ready to go—except my husband, Bill, who was the best man. Where was he? Suddenly, a door opened behind the pulpit. The minister signaled the pianist; the usher signaled the father of the bride; the pianist sounded the first chord, only to have it echoed by a piercing shout, "Oh, noooo!" And then a loud splash. In his haste, Bill had opened the wrong door and fallen into the baptistery.
—Donna Smith, Tipton, Oklahoma

A Moving Sermon
As a young preacher, I spent my early years preaching at nursing homes once a month. One Sunday, I preached passionately about the goodness of God during our trials. I noticed an elderly woman crying. She wept bitterly until the end of the service. I was proud that my sermon had moved her so greatly. As I was leaving, a nurse told me the woman wanted to speak to me. Compassionately I asked, "How can I help you?" With tears streaming down her cheeks, she said, "During your message, I lost my candy bar and I still can't find it!"
—Rev. Christopher D. Berry, Hayden, Alabama

Still in Love
When my husband and I were newlyweds, people constantly said how in love we looked. But soon the compliments stopped, and I admit I was disappointed. Imagine my delight when my husband came home one day and said, "Honey, all day people kept telling me I looked like someone who really loves his wife." But as I gave him a hug, I discovered the reason. While tumbling in the dryer together, one of my bras had somehow gotten hooked on the back of his football jersey.
—Barbara Moore, Atlanta, Georgia
