Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 1317 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Friendly Deacon – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1317 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. Something to cheer you and provide a bit a levity in your life. We are told in Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled:

The Friendly Deacon

Young Deacon Jones was ushering one Sunday morning when he noticed an elderly woman walking towards the front door of Crossroads Country Church. The front steps of the church were quite steep and long, so Deacon Jones rushed out to help the older lady. He greeted her warmly and asked her name as he assisted up the stairs. She responded a bit curtly, just call me Maggie, but she said little else.

As they walked into the sanctuary, Deacon Jones asked politely, “Where would you like to sit, Maggie?”

Maggie replied, “The front row please.”

With a bit of a grin on his face, Deacon Jones bent down and whispered in Maggie’s ear, “You really don't want to do thatthe pastor is really boring.

Maggie turned her head and stared right into Deacon Jones’s eyes and said: “Do you happen to know who I am young man?Taken back a bit, Deacon Jones replied, “well, no.

Well, I'm the pastor's mother,” Maggie replied indignantly.

Blushing, Deacon Jones asks, “Do you know who I am?

No,” Maggie replied Maggie.

That’s good” Deacon Jones answered, “Let me show you the front pew.

I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a good smile. Our Thursday thought is: If you keep your mouth shut, you will never put your foot in it.

Proverbs 20:15

Wise words are more valuable than much gold and many rubies.
