Stranded

"Every Member"

A pastor said one day, as part of his Sermon:
"Every member of this church is going to die."

Then the pastor noticed that a man in the congregation
started to smile as he said these words. Thinking he
hadn't heard him, the pastor repeated the same
sentence several times, in a louder voice each time:
Every member of this church is going to die."

The man smiled even more widely.

Perplexed, at the end of the service the pastor asked
the man in question why he was smiling.

The man replied: "I'm not a member of this church."

"Stranded"

Max Weinstein, his wife and two young daughters
were on vacation. They were out in a small sailing
boat when they were caught in a sudden squall off
the shores of Florida. They were found and towed
to Fort Lauderdale and safety by the ever alert
U.S. Coast Guard.

"I always knew G~d would take care of us," said
Max's composed five-year-old daughter, after the
family returned home to New York City.

"I like to hear you say that," beamed the mother.
"Always remember that G~d is in His heaven
watching over us."

"Oh, I wasn't talking about that G~d," the five-year-old
interrupted. "I was talking about the Coast G~d."
