"The title of the sermon was "The Divine Ordinance of Baptism". I didn't see it until someone pointed it out to me. I had typed "The Diving Ordinance of Baptism"." "The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility." "Potluck supper Sunday at 5:00 PM - prayer and medication to … Continue reading More Church Bulletin Bloopers

Church Bulletin Bloopers
These actually appeared in church bulletins / announcements: "The Fasting and Prayer Conference includes meals." "The sermon this morning: 'Jesus Walks on the Water.' The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus.'" "Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping. Bring your husbands." "Remember in prayer the … Continue reading Church Bulletin Bloopers
Walter
Don't know who wrote it but this is a good story. I received it in an email. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The day Walter Boone sold his last flock, his old dog cried at the fence like the whole farm had just been buried. “Drive slow with them,” Walter said, though the buyer was already climbing into the … Continue reading Walter

The Sounds of Life – and Love
Since my wife died, I find myself eating out fairly often. The waitresses at Country Kitchen all know me by name, and I have a standing breakfast date with however many of my grand-kids and great grand-kids can attend every Monday. We have a good visit, solve most of the world's problems, and discuss everything … Continue reading The Sounds of Life – and Love

In the darkness Calvin heard the sound of Susie, his wife of fifty-three years. Calvin struggled to open his eyes. God, he was so tired and it … Continue reading Just a Stuffed Tiger
Loving = Giving = Healing
I received this in email: When I was a kid, church ladies ran the whole world. Elderly women were always telling me what to do, randomly appearing from the shadows and trying to feed me. Our little microcosmic community was operated by elderly women in beehive hairdos. They drove Lincolns, Mercury Grand Marquis, or Ford … Continue reading Loving = Giving = Healing
Forgiveness
I've added a couple of notes (in parenthesis). The late Dr. Charles Stanley wrote: More often than not, forgiveness isn’t so clear cut. There is a spiritual practice of bearing in a middle space of forgiveness. This middle space is where we don’t know the whole story; nor do we know its ending or have … Continue reading Forgiveness
