A
Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of
the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They
visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they
found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they
wanted.
The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife.
"Fetch the Bible," he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf,
scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner.
"Now find Psalm 23" he commanded The dog dropped the Bible to the
floor and showing the marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through
and found the correct passage, then pointed to it with his paw. The
pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.
That evening, a group of church members came to visit.
The
pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate
several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed. Finally, one
man asked, "Can he
do regular dog tricks, too?" "I haven't tried yet," the pastor replied.. He
pointed his finger at the dog. "HEEL!" the pastor commanded. The dog immediately
jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor's forehead and began to howl.
The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, "Good Lord! He's Pentecostal."
Have a great Sunday! God Bless! Marion
