Faith
A man was walking in
the mountains just enjoying the scenery when he stepped too close to the
edge of the mountain and started to fall. In desperation he reached out
and grabbed a limb of an old tree hanging onto the side of the cliff.
Full of fear he assessed his situation. He was about 100 feet down a
sheer cliff and about 900 feet from the floor of the canyon below. If he
should slip again he'd plummet to his death.
Full of fear, he cried
out, "Help me!" But there was no answer. Again and again he
cried out but to no avail. Finally he yelled, "Is anybody up there?
"
A deep voice replied,
"Yes, I'm up here."
"Who said
that?"
"It's the
Lord."
"Can you help
me?"
"Yes, I can help.
Have faith in me."
"Help me!"
"Just let
go."
Looking around, the man
became full of panic. "What?"
"Have faith in me.
Let go. I will catch you."
"Uh... Is there
anybody else up there?"
Tail gunner
A guy was sitting in an
airplane when another guy took the seat beside him. The new guy was a
wreck, biting his nails and moaning in fear.
"Hey, pal, what's
the matter?" asked the first guy.
"I've been
transferred to Los Angeles, California," he answered nervously.
"They've got race riots, drugs, the highest crime rate in the
country..."
"Hold on,"
said the first. "I've been in L.A all my life, and it's not bad as
the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business,
enrol your kids in a good school and it's as safe as any other place in
the world."
The second guy stopped
shaking for a moment and said, "Oh, thank God. I was worried to
death! But if you live there and say it's ok, I'll take your word for
it. By the way, what do you do for a living?"
"Me?" said
the first, "I'm a tail gunner on a bread truck."
Late realisation
After a quarrel, a wife
said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married
you."
And the husband
replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice it."
