The Dire in the Mire

My wife recently forwarded this on to me and chances are pretty good that you’ve run across this joke before.  I find, however, that clever (and good clean) humor is always appreciated by well-natured Christians (especially the kind of humor that just might ‘ring a little too close to home’).  It never goes out of style.  Here’s the joke:

“A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house, it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote ‘Revelation 3:20′ on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it, was this cryptic message, ‘Genesis 3:10.’ Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins, ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.’ Genesis 3:10 reads, ‘I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.”

This kind of adds new meaning to that part of 1 Peter 3:15 that says: “Always be prepared,”

Have Fun and enjoy your weekend.
