All work and no play makes this catechist a dull boy. So I’m getting some much needed R & R!
While I’m on vacation until late July, I thought it’d be fun to share some of my favorite jokes from my books, A Well-Built Faith and The Bible Blueprint. Here’s today’s contribution:
A man’s business is going down the drain. He is very depressed and doesn’t know what to do. He goes to the priest who tells him, “Take a beach chair and a Bible and put them in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water’s edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it, and take the book out and open it up. The wind will riffle the pages for a while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the first words your eyes fall on and they will tell you what to do.” The man does as he is told. He sits on the chair at the water’s edge and opens the Bible. The wind riffles the pages of the Bible and then stops at a particular page. He looks down at the Bible and his eyes fall on words, which tell him what he has to do. Three months later the man, wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, comes back to see the priest and hands him a thick envelope full of money, telling him that he wants to donate this money to the parish in order to thank the priest for his wonderful advice. The priest is delighted. He asks him what words in the Bible brought this good fortune to him. The man replies, “Chapter 11.”
