The world’s best after-dinner speech: I’ll take the check
One thing you can say about an egoist: He never talks about other people.
Preachers don’t talk in their sleep; they talk in their parishioner’s sleep.
Conversation heard after church: “Do you think Madilyn Johnson is tinting her hair?” “I don’t know; I didn’t see her.” “Do you think that dress Mrs. Hansen was wearing should be paraded before God-fearing people of the church?” “I didn’t notice that, either.” “A lot of good it does YOU to go to church.”

You Dont Look Like A Minister
$12.95Add to cartHere are candid observations and quips from a minister with over 35 years experience. These 36 delightful essays will be instantly recognized by anyone who serves a parish ministry.
Consider …
You can never hide the fact that you are a clergyman.
Maybe it’s the way we usually sit down front it could be the shameless way we sing hymns as though they were meant to be heard. I’ve gone to church in a sport shirt and pastel slacks and had people say to me, “You don’t look like a minister, but you sure do sing like one.”Personally, I’ve always thought of heaven as down, like down in the Caribbean in February.
The ad in the church supplies magazine said, “We put the van into evangelical.” It was from a company that sells buses and other vehicles to churches. If you can’t afford a van look what Peter did with only a pair of sandals and a heart of love.
During a sermon, a spider dropped down from the end of the microphone. Ordinarily, I can take spiders, but in the middle of a sermon, I don’t need any more distraction. I get enough sirens, coughers and bookdroppers — and people who sit there grinning and I can’t figure out why.

Chonda the comedian has touched thousands of women around the country, from stage or on video. “To see or hear her is to love her,” is the unanimous response. But in her writing, Chonda brings a whole new depth of insight into her humor–humor that enables readers to dispel all gloom and experience the joy of the closeness of God in their everyday lives.
