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 7/31/2022).
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.
When Does Life Begin?
Three religious leaders were posed the question, “When does life begin?”
The Catholic priest said, “At conception.“
The Protestant pastor replied, “At birth.“
The Rabbi answered, “When the last kid goes to college and the dog dies.“

I guess you would say I am in the Rabbi stage of life. Now I’m just waiting on the dog! ☺️

Yep! Everybody benefits, most especially the dog! That little four-legged critter has more mama love than any other critter on the planet. Well, at least in the building. 💕🐶
