Wedding Blessing

"Wedding Blessing"

At a wedding ceremony that I was performing, I raised
my hand to give the final blessing.

The bride misunderstood my gesture and surprised me with a high-five.

Not wanting to exclude the groom, I offered him a high-five, too.

I was finally able to get my blessing in, amid the
laughter of the guests.

"Prison Quartet"

While I was preaching in a church in Mississippi,
the pastor announced that their prison quartet
would be singing the following evening. I wasn't
aware there was a prison in the vicinity and I
looked forward to hearing them.

The next evening, I was puzzled when four members
of the church approached the stage. Then the pastor
introduced them.

"This is our prison quartet," he said, "behind a few
bars and always looking for the key."
