Humor 1/18/97: Sermon on Lying

Hey,

I hope all of you had a good weekend. I had a great time at the
ballroom dancing event this Saturday and it was cool to see many of you
there. Richard, my roommate, wants to host one more ballroom dancing
event, tentatively scheduled on Saturday, February 21st. I hope those
of you in the Boston area can make it. Also, let me know if you have
any suggestions of what style you would like for us all to learn. We've
already done the Foxtrot, Swing, and Waltz. I was thinking of the
Rhumba.

This week's humor email comes to us from Vivian Chiang. Sorry if you've
already seen it. What's really a coincidence is that at the small group
leaders meeting I went to on Saturday, I learned that 5 out of the 12
small groups at my church were studying the Book of Mark. I hope that
those folks wouldn't fall into the same trap as that mentioned in the
humor email. Have an awesome week! Enjoy!

-Josh.

Sermon on Lying

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach
about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want
you all to read Mark 17."

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon,
the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many
had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and
said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my
sermon on the sin of lying."
