One Sunday, a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach.
The cowboy said, "I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him."
So the minister began his sermon.
One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he had liked the sermon.
The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."

Church feuds are not uncommon...

Church feuds are not uncommon, especially among cliques in the congregation. But when the pastor and choir director get into it, stand aside.One week our preacher preached on commitment, and how we should dedicate ourselves to service. The director then led the choir in singing, `I Shall Not Be Moved.`The next Sunday, the preacher preached on giving and how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The choir director then led the song, `Jesus Paid It All.`The next Sunday, the preacher preached on gossiping and how we should watch our tongues. The hymn was `I Love To Tell The Story.`The preacher became disgusted over the situation, and the next Sunday he told the congregation he was considering resigning. The choir then sang `Oh, Why Not Tonight.`When the preacher resigned the next week, he told the church that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was taking him away. The choir then sang, `What A Friend We Have in Jesus.`

There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he got, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession. One Sunday was a picture-perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right. The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do. The urge to play golf overcame him. He called an assistant and told him that he was sick and could not attend church. Then he packed up the car, and drove three hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course.An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to God and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he`s doing." God nodded in agreement.The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung, and the ball sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away. A perfect hole-in-one. The preacher was amazed and excited. The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and said, "Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him."God smiled. "Think about it -- who can he tell?"

An old preacher was dying...

An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his IRS agent and his Lawyer (both church members), to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and Lawyer were touched and flattered that the old preacher would ask them to be with him during his final moment.They were also puzzled because the preacher had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.Finally, the Lawyer asked, "Preacher, why did you ask the two of us to come?"The old preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that`s how I want to go, too.
