The Pastor's Pen
For many years, I have enjoyed collecting funny stories, but I love telling them even more. I once read of a man that got on a train and gave the porter a large tip in advance. He asked the porter to wake him up and make sure he got off the train at the 3 AM stop as he had a business meeting that he must not miss. He also told the porter that he was a heavy sleeper, so it might be difficult to wake him. The porter promised and took the tip. The next morning the man woke to learn that he had missed his stop and his meeting he was mad. He found the porter and began to scream and yell at him. He told the porter that he would never work on another train again after the railroad learns of his incompetence. After the man stormed off, another train attendant who witnessed the tirade said to the porter, Wow, that was the angriest man I have ever seen. No, not really said the porter, You should have seen the guy I put off the train at 3 this morning.

The Pastor's Porch
One of the guys in our church, Darrell Glass from over in Cement, has a real good lookin’ team of Percheron draft horses and a beautiful carriage for them to pull around. Man these horses are HUGE!!! Another guy in our church also from Cement, Jean Chapman, raises miniature horses; little bitty boogers. They are cute as a bug but they’re only 34 inches tall or less. Can you imagine what would happen if you took one of Jean’s little horses and hooked it up to Darrell’s big old carriage??? Why that little horse couldn’t even untrack that carriage, let alone pull it around. How frustrated and tired that little horse would get tryin’ to do something that there’s no way he could do by himself.

Tooth fairy won't believe it
I heard a story of a little girl who went with her mother as she delivered meals to elderly shut-ins.
The little girl was fascinated by what she saw at each home and asked her mother a lot of questions about canes, crutches, walkers and wheelchairs. -

Pastor's Porch: Jesus, come fix my phone
I live way out in the boonies west of Chickasha Lake and back North over in Caddo County.
The roads are not the best out there to say the least, but the county does make an effort to get them graded as soon as they can after a rain or snow fall.
The problem lies in that our phone lines are buried right on the edge of the road, and they ain’t burried very deep. -

The Pastor’s Pen: Why?
When little children are in the home, one question seems to always come up ? why? There never seems to be an end to the kind of questions that begin with the word why. Here are just a few questions children ask - Why do worms eat dirt? Why is summer so hot? Why do I have to wait?

The Pastor’s Porch: Let’s make a trade
Don't ya just Love to do a little horse tradin' once in a while. I do. I remember being a kid and tradin' marbles; and then I got into tradin' pocket knives. Then it got to where I would trade on just about anything; dogs, horses, guns, cars, guitars. You name it, and I'd trade for it. That is if I wanted it. I remember one time when I got my first car. It was a 1954 Mercury; white over maroon. Pretty snazzy car. I traded it to my cousin for a beautiful cherry sunburst Rickenbacker guitar. My daddy almost had a heart attack. Personally, I thought it was a great trade. My cousin even gave me a ride home in his new Mercury!!!
