Dinner invite
Joey’s dad invited Rev. & Mrs. Brown to dinner. Joey’s mom made an extra-special meal. It was Joey’s job to set the table with the good china and silver.
As everyone sat down to eat, Joey’s mom said, “Joey, dear, you forgot to set a knife and fork for Mrs. Brown.”
“I didn’t think I needed to,” Joey explained. “I heard Daddy say she eats like a horse.”
Joining the Church
After the service a young couple talked to the pastor about joining the church. I hadn’t met the husband before, and I asked what church he was transferring from.
After a short hesitation, he replied, “I am transferring from the Municipal Golf Course.”
Morning March
I was a new Army basic trainee at Fort McClellan, and one requirement was a demanding 12-mile march. We got started at 6 a.m. and were pumped up for the trek.
An hour later, feeling the heavy load of our packs, we wondered if the end would ever come.
“Men,” our sergeant yelled, “you’re doing a fine job. We’ve already covered four miles!”
Revitalized, we picked up the pace.
“And,” continued Sarge, “we should reach the starting point any minute now.”
