"A MERRY HEART DOETH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE"

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Proverbs 17:22

 

The Man and the Bear

 

    A man was out hunting, and came upon a bear. He shot at the bear, but only nicked him. The bear went after the hunter, and chased him some distance through the woods.

 

    Finally the man came to the edged of a cliff, and had no where else to run. As he watched the bear approach, he began to pray. "Dear God give this bear a touch of religion."

 

    Suddenly the bear came to an abrupt stop, and looked up toward Heaven and said, "Thank you Lord for this food which I am about to eat."

 

 

 

A Little Boy Asking God For Money

 

    A little boy wanted $100, badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write a letter to the Lord requesting the $100.

 

    When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to the Lord, USA, they decided to send it to The President. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. President Clinton thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank-you note to the Lord. It said:

 

    Dear Lord,

    Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, DC and as usual, those jerks deducted $95.

 

 

 

Jesus Is Watching

 

    A burglar enters a home and is greeted by "Jesus is watching!"

    He shines his flashlight around and finds no one.

    He takes another step to hear "Jesus is watching you."

    This time he shines the light to discover a parrot.

    He asks, "Was that you talking ?"

    The parrot answers "Yes."

    The burglar asks, "What is your name?"

    The parrot replies, "Clarence."

    The burglar asks, "What idiot named you Clarence?"

    The parrot replies, "The same idiot that named the Doberman Jesus."

 

 

 

The Tax Confession

  A couple of weeks after hearing a sermon on Psalm 51:2-4 (knowing my own hidden secrets) and Psalm 52:3-4 (lies and deceit), a man wrote the following letter to the IRS:

 

    I have been unable to sleep, knowing that I have cheated on my income tax.  I understated my taxable income, and have enclosed a check for $150.

 

Sincerely,

Taxpayer

 

P.S. If I still can't sleep, I will send the rest.
