Fear No Evil

"Dear Lord"

A visiting minister waxed eloquent during the
offertory prayer. "Dear Lord," he began with
arms extended and a rapturous look on his
upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued but at that moment
my very obedient daughter (who was listening
carefully for a change!) leaned over to me and
asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice,

"Mom, what is butt dust?"

"Fear No Evil"

One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone
in tiny Smithville wakes up early and goes to their
local church. Before the service starts, the
townspeople sit in their pews and talk about their
lives, their families, etc.

Suddenly, at the altar, Satan appears!! Everyone
starts screaming and running for the front entrance,
trampling each other in their determined efforts to
get away from Evil Incarnate.

Soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except
for one man, who sits calmly in his pew, seemingly
oblivious to the fact that G~d's ultimate enemy is in
his presence. This confuses Satan a bit.

Satan walks up to the man and says, "Hey, don't you
know who I am?"

The man says, "Yep, I sure do."

Satan says, "Well, aren't you afraid of me?"

The man says, "Nope, I sure ain't."

Satan, perturbed, asks, "And why aren't you afraid of me?"

"Well, I've been married to your sister for 25 years."
