Sunday Funnies: April 24

Posted in humorTagged

Another installment from my dad’s humor cards.

The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories or observations that he typed onto 5×7 cards. Then he wrote in the margins when he used that particular item. His humor was often an easy way to settle in to something deeper – by laughing and thinking about the buried truth in these little nuggets, it paved the way to an open heart.

When we cleaned out his desk after he died 7 years ago, I was lucky enough to stumble on this stack. I pull it out regularly to have a little laugh with my dear Dad. Now when I post one of them, I write my note next to his and it feels like a continuation.

God in Advertising

A Ft. Lauderdale advertising agency launched a billboard campaign (including the inside and outside of buses) that included these messages from God:

  1. Let’s Meet at My House Sunday before the Game – God
  2. What part of “Thou Shalt Not…” Didn’t You Understand? – God
  3. We Need to Talk – God
  4. Will the Road You’re on Get You to My Place? – God
  5. That “Love Thy Neighbor” Thing, I Meant It – God
  6. Follow Me – God
  7. Tell the Kids I Love Them – God
  8. My Way is the Highway – God
  9. Need Directions? – God
  10. You Think It’s Hot Here? – God
  11. C’mon Over and Bring the Kids – God
  12. Have You Read My #1 Best Seller? There Will be a Test – God

  2. Church advertising, including the use of the front yard signs, truly are some of the most clever and creative messaging we see and continue to see.

    Some of these messages are fantastic and also chuckle worthy. 😊

    Happy Sunday to you and your family!

    2. So true, Ab – so clever and creative!

      Happy Sunday to you, Ab! This morning I was thinking of you when my son indicated that he knows there are multiple “fake” stuffies and some are better than the others. Good grief! 🙂

      1. I have been busy painting our living room. Changing things up a bit! Adding a “raspberry sorbet” accent wall and absolutely loving the bold color! Hope you and your kiddos have had a great weekend 🙂

      2. Wow, Grace – I love hearing about your change up. I think you need to post a picture of that wall! I bet it’s a great story of inviting newness and boldness into the room! 🙂

  9. I love churches with a sense of humor. Some of the best signs I’ve ever seen have been outside houses of worship. Not billboards like these, but the humor was still the same.
