Good News and Bad News

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation:

'I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets.'

Parking Ticket

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read:

'I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.'

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note.

'I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.'
