Please note that some of these jokes are just that, jokes. But other events are actual occurrences, based upon real situations with real people. In other words, I didn’t make all of these up. Truth is funnier than fiction, every time. Who says God doesn’t enjoy humor? Trying to decide which are true stories and which are simply jokes may be harder than you think. But these jokes and stories are rated-G and they can be used with family, children, in church, and in fact, anywhere at anytime you want to make someone laugh. Laughter is good for the heart, lowers blood pressure, releases powerful pain reducing endorphins and books the body’s immunity. The Bible agrees with this, saying that “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine…” (Proverbs 17:22a). So have a good laugh on me or with me and enjoy.
