The old pastor made it a practice to visit the church’s Christian school one day a week. He walked into the fourth-grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name.

No Dogs Allowed

There’s a guy with a Doberman pinscher and a guy with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman pinscher says to the guy with the Chihuahua, “Let’s go over to the restaurant and get something to eat.”
The guy with the Chihuahua says, “We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us.”
The guy with the Doberman pinscher says, “Just follow my lead.”
They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in. A guy at the door says, “Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed.”

Christ is risen! This proclamation isn’t just an event that we celebrate on Easter Sunday. It is our Christian battle cry!
Christ is risen! Notice the present tense is. This isn’t an event in the past. It is an ever-present happening that fuels our living and vibrant faith! Christ is alive and working through you and me! Christ is! Right now! Hallelujah!

This past Sunday we talked about the Art of Gratefulness and I issued a challenge to everyone. And I want to issue that challenge to you again today.
I think it is really going to be something that will help you this week. And I want you to, if you will, accept our one week no-complaints challenge.

Beaux Tate

My dog, Beaux Tate, was in the back window of our house and he saw a rabbit and he is barking. He kept his eye on that rabbit and when I let him out into the backyard, he continued to look for that rabbit that had long ran away. But that did not deter him, he just kept looking in that direction and barking.

Two friends who hadn’t seen each other in years met in a supermarket. One woman asked, “Tell me Ruth, how is your son George?”
“He’s getting along fine,” Ruth replied. “He’s a poet. He just received his master’s degree in literature from the university.”
“And what about Mary?”
“She’s just as smart as George,” Ruth replied. “She graduated from college with a degree in modern art.”

A priest was walking along the cliffs at Dover when he came upon two locals pulling another man ashore on the end of a rope. “That’s what I like to see,” said the priest, “a man helping his fellow man.”
As he was walking away, one local remarked to the other, “Well, he sure doesn’t know the first thing about shark fishing.”
