A Bit of Clergy Humor

This is from my friend Brett Younger, pastor of Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX:

"In groups of more than five pastors, someone inevitably asks, 'How's your church doing?' The answer is often something like 'We're okay, but we're starting the summer slump, I hope the giving doesn't fall as much as last year.' A few ministers answer, 'The Holy Spirit is really at work. Our church is on fire.' Those ministers have trouble getting other ministers to sit with them." (Brett Younger, Who Moved My Pulpit? A Hilarious Look at Ministerial Life, Smyth and Helwys, 2004, page 129).
