I find laughter is therapy. I LOVE to laugh. So I thought I would share a joke or two with you. Some are old, some are new. But I am sure one or two of them will make you smile. Enjoy:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know what God Looks Like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew.<br \/>\nShe would occasionally walk around to see each child&#8217;s artwork.<br \/>\nAs she came to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. <\/p>\n<p>The girl replied, <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m drawing God.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The teacher paused and said, <strong>&#8220;But no one knows what God looks like.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing the girl replied,. . . .<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;They will in a minute.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Have Faith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. <\/p>\n<p>The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to<br \/>\nswallow a human because even though they were a very<br \/>\nlarge mammal their throat was very small. <\/p>\n<p>The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. <\/p>\n<p>The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was impossible. <\/p>\n<p>The little girl said, <strong>&#8220;When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>The teacher asked, <strong>&#8220;What if Jonah went to hell?&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>The little girl replied, <strong>&#8220;Then you ask him.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>IRS Agents In Heaven<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two income tax collectors died and arrived at the pearly gates. <\/p>\n<p>Just ahead of them were two clergy, but St. Peter motioned them aside<br \/>\nand took the internal revenue into heaven at once. <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Why them ahead of us?&#8221;<\/strong> the surprised religious leaders asked. <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Haven&#8217;t we done everything possible to spread the good word?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes,&#8221; <\/strong>said St. Peter,<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;but those two IRS agents scared the Hell out of more people than you ever did!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Higher Power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Sunday school teacher said to her children,<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times.<br \/>\nBut, there is a higher power.<br \/>\nCan anybody tell me what it is?&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>One child blurted out, <strong>&#8220;Aces!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>The Red Wagon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco.<br \/>\nThe pastor of the church was looking over the naivety when<br \/>\nhe noticed the baby Jesus was missing from among the figures. <\/p>\n<p>Immediately he turned and went outside where he saw a little<br \/>\nboy with a red wagon and in the wagon was the figure of the infant of Jesus. <\/p>\n<p>So he walked up the the little boy and said,<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Well, where&#8217;d you get Him, my fine friend?&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>The little boy replied , <strong>&#8220;I got him from the church.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And why did you take him?&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>The little boy replied,<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Well about a week before Christmas I prayed to the little Lord Jesus and I told him if<br \/>\nhe would bring me a red wagon for Christmas I would give him a ride around the block in it.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Liquid, Fragile or Perishable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When a woman decided to send the old family Bible to her brother in another state,<br \/>\nthe postal worker asked her if there was anything breakable in the package. <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Only the Ten Commandments&#8221;<\/strong>, she replied.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Satan-In-Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in the tiny Midwest town got up early<br \/>\nand went to the local church.<br \/>\nBefore the services started, the townspeople were sitting in their pews.<br \/>\nSuddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.<br \/>\nEveryone started screaming and running for the entrance, trampling each other in<br \/>\na frantic effort to get away from an evil incarnate. <\/p>\n<p>Soon everyone was evacuated from the church, except for one elderly gentleman who<br \/>\nsat calmly in his pew, not moving&#8230;..seemingly oblivious to the fact that God&#8217;s ultimate<br \/>\nenemy was in his presence. <\/p>\n<p>Now this confused and irritated the Devil a bit, so he walked up to the man and said,<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you know who I am?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yep, sure do,&#8221; <\/strong>the elderly man said. <\/p>\n<p>Satan asked, <strong>&#8220;Aren&#8217;t you afraid of me?&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>This time the man said, <strong>&#8220;Nope, sure ain&#8217;t!&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Satan, a little more perturbed at this, asked, &#8220;Why aren&#8217;t you afraid of me?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The man calmly replied, <strong>&#8220;Been married to your sister for 56 years.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Money for the Preacher<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the church service a little boy told the pastor, <strong>&#8220;When I grow up, I&#8217;m going to give you some money.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, thank you,&#8221;<\/strong> the pastor replied, <strong>&#8220;but why?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Because my daddy says you&#8217;re one of the poorest preachers we&#8217;ve ever had.&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>What Fell from the Bible?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little boy opened the big family Bible.<br \/>\nHe was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages.<br \/>\nSuddenly something fell out of the Bible.<br \/>\nHe picked up the object and looked at it closely.<br \/>\nWhat he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Momma, look what I found,&#8221; <\/strong>the boy called out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;What have you got there, dear?&#8221; <\/strong>his mother asked. <\/p>\n<p>With astonishment in the young boy&#8217;s voice, he answered: <strong>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s Adam&#8217;s underwear!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Out of Luck<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A guy named Joe finds himself in dire trouble.<br \/>\nHis business has gone bust and he&#8217;s in serious financial trouble.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s so desperate that he decides to ask God for help. <\/p>\n<p>He begins to pray&#8230; &#8220;<strong>God, please help me.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve lost my business and if I don&#8217;t get some money, I&#8217;m going to lose my house as well.<br \/>\nPlease let me win the lotto.<\/strong>&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. <\/p>\n<p>Joe again prays&#8230; &#8220;<strong>God, please let me win the lotto!<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve lost my business, my house and I&#8217;m going to lose my car as well<\/strong>&#8220;. <\/p>\n<p>Lotto night comes and Joe still has no luck. <\/p>\n<p>Once again, he prays&#8230; &#8220;<strong>My God, why have you forsaken me??<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve lost my business, my house, and my car.<br \/>\nMy wife and children are starving.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you.<br \/>\nPLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Joe is confronted by the voice of God Himself: <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Joe, meet Me halfway on this.
