JOSHUA TIME 503

CHURCH JOKES

Little Church Humor

One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, "I'm not going.""Why not?" she asked.I'll give you two good reasons," he said. "One, they don't like me, and two, I don't like them."His mother replied, "I'll give YOU two good reasons why YOU SHOULD go to church. (1) You're 59 years old, and (2) you're the pastor!" The Picnic A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter. "This baked ham is really delicious," the priest teased the rabbi. "You really ought to try it. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've tried Mrs. Hall's prized Virginia Baked Ham. Tell me, Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?"The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, "At your wedding."
The USHER An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely. "The front row please," she answered."You really don't want to do that," the usher said. "The pastor is really boring.""Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired"No." he said."I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly"Do you know who I am?" he asked."No." she said."Good," he answered. Show and Tell A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion. The first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David."The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic and this is a Rosary."The third student got in up front of the class and said, "My name is Tommy. I am Methodist, and this is a casserole." The Best Way To Pray A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby. "Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray," the priest said."No," said the minister. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven.""You're both wrong," the guru said. "The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor."The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey, fellas," he interrupted. "The best prayin' I ever did was when I was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole." The Twenty and the One A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country. "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean.""Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!""So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Ch urch, the Lutheran Church.."The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?" Goat for Dinner The young couple invited their elderly pastor for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having."Goat," the little boy replied."Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?""Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner

AFTER HAVING A STRING OF NOT SO GOOD AIDES I HAVE THE BEST AIDES SHANNON DAY SHANNON IS SOME ONE WHO TAKES HER TIME WITH PATIENTS AND TREATS THEM RIGHT SHANNON DAY IS THE BEST AIDE

I wrote the below stuff about Angel Marcum when it happened in 2004.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT AND EXCLUSIVE JOSHUA TIME ANALYSIS....I’m a twenty-four year old male that has cerebral palsy and I like the FOX NEWS CHANNEL SHOW THE “O’RIELY FACTOR NO SPIN ZONE.”This exclusive Joshua Time is going to be a “No Spin” column. Against the advice of my father and a friend I’m going to write this it needs to be known, I’m going to use a lot of facts and I’ll analyze those facts just like Mr. O’Riely does. This is a Joshua Time exclusive.I HAD WROTE THIS IN JUNE OF 2004. THIS EFFECTED ME MOST OF ALL.I live in a low income apartment and I have something that is referred to as “home health” “Professional home health” its what I have been referring to as my “help services” I had got this by the help of a friend who no longer lives in the apartment. We had called the doctor fifteen times left several messages. Then some one by the name of “Sue” started contacting me. I had to sign a bunch of papers HIPA AND CONFIDENTIALITY PAPERS. The confidentiality thing is the basis of this column, I have found out and Sue had told me the home health aid and nurses are not allowed to say they are seeing you or anything of that nature. The first aid I had was some one named Donna she was somewhat rude and not very helpful. However, I’m not some one that complains so I never said anything. “Donna” would do halfhearted jobs/halfhearted work. I was in the hospital in March because of a headache and sick over spring break my parents had called the office told the office I was home and I was sick. However, “Donna” never checked or called the office she came here first and I had to sign a bunch of papers saying, “missed visits.”The second aid I had her name was “Angel Marcum.” One week after being here I was missing some sleeping pills I never reported it cause I hate complaining. When I would be in the shower she would be roaming through my apartment and I wound up missing more medicine, “Angel” had told me she crushed my locates put them in my food but I never saw the white powder nor did I taste it. I can not swallow big pills so they have to be crushed and every one including Angel knew that.I live on a motto and grandfather that recently died had this same motto “save money have money spend money have no money“ I had been saving my school money. I had asked Angel to go to the store for me and get me some groceries she had my food stamp card for three days and told me she could not do it, to when she never even went to the store. However, on May tenth this the big day “Angel Marcum” said, “she took my trash out and some one was in my house, coming out of my house” she describes this person three different ways. May tenth I wound up missing a good chunk of money I had saved up from school. Angel Marcum was the only one in my house yet she claimed some one else had came in my house. I had gave her my food stamp card and a twenty dollar bill on May tenth to get me some groceries and shaving cream and aftershave/cologne. When I got my stuff I find out I never got no change back from my twenty dollar bill and no receipt and only 5.10 left on my food stamp card. “Angel” had lied when she told me that “Wal-Mart never gave her no receipt.” My brother had stayed with me that next Monday and I had let it slip that I was missing some money. The next two days Tuesday and Wednesday I had overslept however I had found out she had talked to my 219 neighbors they then told my 217 neighbors my 217 neighbors had yelled at me that Wednesday when they came outside. I thought everything was supposed to be confidential and no one was supposed to be talking at all. Angel had came and told me that Friday she would no longer be my aid. Bertha the boss had came to see that Friday aswell. I printed things out about Angel. She told me she would talk to my neighbors however she never talked to anyone.My analysis is it appears “home health” wants there workers to lie. I found out some one got fired for telling a patient they was late because they had to take a drug test. Drug tests are good. However, why fire some one for being honest? The second aid that I had stole money medicine and broke confidentiality on me and I find out “Bertha the boss” never fires “Angel Marcum.” When I asked the “nurse Greta” if Angel got fired she stated that “She could not tell me because of confidentiality.”I thought I should be able to trust people who are trying and supposed to be helping people like me. My analysis is you can not trust anyone. “Home Health” is for invalids. “Home health” is a government scam taking peoples tax dollars away. If people need “help” then go to the nursing home or somewhere where you could get some help like go to family.“Home health” is not all bad they do make sure your alive, clean, and have a clean house however this is the long-term strengths of “home health” the short-term strengths and long-term weakness is they keep people who kiss butt and kiss it good.I was advised by a friend not to write this because home health would drop me however they can not drop me I’m “approved for a year” according to the social worker for home health.They could sue me, I’d like them to try to sue me after not firing Angel after she broke confidentiality and stole my money. The money she stole was more than the one hundred dollars she reported “missing.” If they tried to sue I would counter sue.I had went to the cops and the cops told me they could not dust my wallet and they could not do anything due to it being cash that was stolen. I would have had to go swear a warrant on her. I did not want to go through any more trouble on the issue.She lied to her home health office only saying “I was missing 100.00.” To when in actuality I was missing almost 700.00. That was all the money I had to do me last summer of 2004.Plus Angel played the game of being a “Christian.” She bowed her head and prayed, she even liked and sung along with my Christian gospel songs. However, it was all a game.Ever since this has happened with Angel Marcum I have had problems trusting my new home health aides because I do not want the system to end up biting me again.I had one aide who I gave a really hard time and now after getting used to her and getting to know her she has proven herself trustworthy. Thanks “Mary”!!! I am learning to trust people again who to trust and how much to trust them.See each time you leave my house or any house, you take a piece of confidentiality with you when you leave you take a piece of our lives with you when you leave and that is something we can not take or get back.Once lies rumors confidentiality is broken you can not get it back.My nosy neighbors the neighbors that yelled at me when they found some rumors out they saw Angel talking to another guy outside for an hour thirty minutes before she would come in to see me and thirty minutes after she would leave from seeing me.Angel Marcum not only broke my confidentiality, however its all a game and I DON’T PLAY NO GAMES. This has been a Joshua Time Analysis.Angel never got fired or investigated after she stole my money, medicine, and broke my confidentiality.This has been a Passion of Joshua Time and a No Spin column.I DON’T PLAY NO GAMES

In 2004 Martha, came the Friday that Angel quit me. Martha never used gloves for 9 months she never used gloves. Martha quit seeing me in Feb of 2005. When she came in 04 she told me about some one named Pete, Pete close by here I was going to ask you does home health have a patient named Pete but I’m not going to because it is none of my business and I thought things was supposed to be confidential. The thing that bothers me is she talked about Pete and so i wonder if she talked about me

She talked about how she did not like Connie.

She saw me and this other patient on holidays and never took a vacation. That is why I was shocked when the aides was off on holidays and i have to sign a missed visit paper.

One time she kept my food stamp card for 2 weeks she drove over me to wal-mart and we went shopping.

Sometimes she would not check my vitals just when my bowels moved last.
Sometimes I would fall one time she said next time you fall I’m calling the office.

Martha is the one that told me no investigation of Angel Marcum She also told me when Angel got fired.

Martha has been back and saw me and she has changed. Martha used to be nice and caring and friendly I do not understand what happened. In march she was on the cell phone for about 20minutes of her time here, She left early as well.
In April a Thursday which was a person care day she came in and sat on the couch while I showered and she turned my heat down saying it was 70degrees outside anf that was one of the coldest days.

On Wednesday May twenty-fifth, Martha came today all she did was shave me and wash dishes she did not fix my hair she did lotion me and put deodorant on me and brush my teeth. But the only homemaking she did was the dishes that could have been done while i was in the shower it takes about 10minutes to wash the dishes she did not fix me anything to eat. I asked who was coming tomorrow and Friday she said “I did not know I asked could she find out she said it is nothing to me I’m not going to be coming.” She stayed until 910. I think she got wind of my complaints. I’m not sure how long she was on the couch but I had to shower myself. She was practically laying on the couch when she asked me if she could take my vitals I was on the phone with my dad

Martha said she could deal with me some patients she wants to slap them in the head

I do not want Martha coming back here no more…

Also Lynette Lawson broke my confidentiality twice, causing me problems at the office. She told them about some complaints I had about an aide who was not doing the job she sat on my couch and she told me she would not tell any one. She also told the office something that ended my physical therapy.

NURSE DEB WILSON IS THE BEST NURSE SHE IS THE ONE THAT HAS ALWAYS CHECKED ON ME GRETA WAS MY NURSE ON PAPER BUT HARDLY CHECKED ON ME.

Puppy SizeThis is one of the neatest stories I've ever heard. You will know precisely what this little girl is talking about at the end (you'll want to share this one with your loved ones and special friends)!"Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again. We've been back to this animal shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now since we started all of this," the mother told the volunteer."What is it she keeps asking for?" the volunteer asked. "Puppy size!" replied the mother."Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking for.""I know...we have seen most of them," the mom said in frustration...Just then Danielle came walking into the office"Well, did you find one?" asked her mom. "No, not this time," Danielle said with sadness in her voice. "Can we come back on the weekend?"The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed"You never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there's always a supply," the volunteer said.Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door. "Don't worry, I'll find one this weekend," she said.Over the next few days both mom and dad had long conversations with her. They both felt she was being too particular. "It's this weekend or we're not looking any more," Dad finally said in frustration."We don't want to hear anything more about puppy size either," Mom added.Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on Saturday morning. By now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for the section that housed the smaller dogs.Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at the end of the first row of cages. There was an observation window so you could see the animals during times when visitors weren't permitted.Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling periodically to take a closer look. One by one the dogs were brought out and she held each one.One by one she said, "Sorry, you're not the one."It was the last cage on this last day in search of the perfect pup.The volunteer opened the cage door and the child carefully picked up the dog and held it closely. This time she took a little longer."Mom, that's it! I found the right puppy! He's the one! I know it!" she screamed with joy. "It's the puppy size!""But it's the same size as all the other puppies you held over the last few weeks," Mom said."No not size ---- the sighs. When I held him in my arms, he sighed," she said."Don't you remember? When I asked you one day what love is, you told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. The more you love, the bigger the sigh!"The two women looked at each other for a moment. Mom didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As she stooped down to hug the child, she did a little of both."Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come home from work and hug each other, you both sigh. I knew I would find the right puppy if it sighed when I held it in my arms," she said.Then holding the puppy up close to her face she said, "Mom, he loves me. I heard the sighs of his heart!"Close your eyes for a moment and think about the love that makes you sigh. I not only find it in the arms of my loved ones, but in the caress of a sunset, the kiss of the moonlight and the gentle brush of cool air on a hot day.They are the sighs of God. Take the time to stop and listen; you will be surprised at what you hear. "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."




Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take....but by the moments that take your breath away....

Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier ofsilver." A woman called a silversmith and made an appointment towatch him at work. She didn't mention anything about thereason for her interest beyond her curiosity about theprocess of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silverover the fire and let it heat up. He explained that inrefining silver, one needed to hold the silver in themiddle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burnaway all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot;then she thought again about the verse that says:"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."She asked the silversmith if it was true thathe had to sit there in front of the fire thewhole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit thereholding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on thesilver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silverwas left a moment too long in the flames, it would bedestroyed. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when thesilver is fully refined?"He smiled at her and answered,"Oh, that's easy, when I see myself in it." Today you are feeling the heat of the fire,remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching youuntil He sees His image in you.Pass this on right now. This very moment, someone needs to knowthat God is watching over them.And, whatever they're going through,they'll be a better person in the end.Whatever you enshrine in your heart exists in eternity, as apure note in the collective harmony. This is as good as itgets.

A pastor once stated, "I always noticed that its was the adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves Me' (for the children of course) during a hymn sing, and it was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see they knew it the best." Here is a new version just for us who have white hair, or no hair at all. For us over 40 (or even those almost there) and all you others...Check out this newest version of "Jesus Loves Me". It is quite cute, so read, sing and enjoy:" JESUS LOVES ME Jesus loves me, this I know, Though my hair is white as snow. Though my sight is growing dim, Still He bids me trust in Him (CHORUS) YES, JESUS LOVES ME... YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO. Though my steps are oh, so slow, With my hand in His I'll go. On through life, let come what may, He'll be there to lead the way. (CHORUS) Though I am no longer young, I have much which He's begun. Let me serve Christ with a smile, Go with others the extra mile. (CHORUS) When the nights are dark and long, In my heart He puts a song. Telling me in words so clear, "Have no fear, for I am near." (CHORUS) When my work on earth is done, And life's victories have been won. He will take me home above, Then I'll understand His love. (CHORUS) I love Jesus, does he know? Daily I will tell Him so. Jesus loves to hear me say, That I love Him every day. If you think this is neat, please pass it on to all of your friends. If you do not pass it on, nothing bad will happen, but you will have missed an opportunity to "Reach out and Touch" a friend or a loved one. God Bless Us All !!!

This is an eye opener; some probably never thought nor looked at Psalm 23 in this way, even though it is said over and over again.The Lord is my Shepherd = That's Relationship!I shall not want = That's Supply!He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That's Rest!He leadeth me beside the still waters = That's Refreshment!He restoreth my soul = That's Healing!He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness = That's Guidance!For His name sake = That's Purpose!Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death = That's Testing!I will fear no evil = That's Protection!For Thou art with me = That's Faithfulness!Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me = That's Discipline!Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies = That's Hope!Thou annointest my head with oil = That's Consecration!My cup runneth over = That's Abundance!Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life = That's Blessing!And I will dwell in the house of the Lord = That's Security!Forever = That's Eternity!Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.Send this to people you are crazy about.I thought this was pretty special, just like YOU!!!What is most valuable, is not what we have in our lives, butWHO we have in our lives!
