A re-run of my dad’s humor cards. They make me chuckle all over again – so I hope you enjoy them whether it’s the first time or second (first posted on 7/24/2022).
The backstory: My dad was a Presbyterian pastor for 40 years. He kept a well curated stack of humor cards – little stories he heard, found or saw and then 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.
Sins of Omission
The Sunday School teacher asked her class: “What are sins of omission?”
After some thought one little fellow said, “They’re the sins we should have committed but didn’t get around to.”
(from Parables, etc., Vol 3, #3, May 1983)
Truth prevails! Thanks, Wynne.
