THE MINISTER'S NEW DENTURES

The minister had just had all of his remaining teeth pulled and new dentures were being made. The first Sunday after the surgery, he only preached for 10 minutes.

The second Sunday, he preached only 20 minutes.

But, on the third Sunday he preached for 1 hour 25 minutes.

When asked about this by some of the congregation, he responded this way:

"The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk. The second Sunday, my dentures were hurting a lot. The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures and I couldn't stop talking!"




I know some of you are thinking that sometimes I am the same way with this keyboard and just don’t know when to stop. Alright already, I’m stopping.

“The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it.” Psalm 24:1

Sink your teeth into it!

Hi Mike,

I think you bit off more than you can chew with this one.  Great fun!  Thanks for sharing!

I think you're right Judy. And I like your dentures much better than mine. They look like happy teeth. I get a little crazy when I'm posting these things at two and three in the morning. Gotta go, I have a toothache. Thanks, for stopping by. ><> Mike

Good one Sharon. Thank!

Dan,

Expect A Great Day!

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the smiles.  In our church, there are several men as well as women to whom this could refer, since the ladies definitely do not have the market cornered when it comes to talking.

I have been blessed over the years, on occassion, to be allowed to deliver the message at Special Sunday Services, such as Youth Sunday, Lay Ministry Sunday, and so on.  The primary piece of advice that I was consistently given by Pastor was that "The mind can only absorb, what the bottom can bear."  Somewhere around 20 minutes into the Message, the squirming would begin without fail.  No matter where I have spoken on the many occassions since then, I always remember this sage advice.

Thanks again,

Phil
