ON THE LIGHTER SIDE…

HOME SWEET HOME

A homeowner received a strongly worded “second notice” that his house payment was overdue.

In a panic, he rushed to the mortgage company and paid his bill, apologizing to the clerk that he apparently had lost or overlooked the first notice. “Oh,” the clerk said, “don’t worry about it. We don’t send out first notices. We’ve found that second notices are much more effective.”

DID YOU SEE IT YET?

Next time you drive by the church, look closely for something that wasn’t there last week.J

Need a hint or two?

“The ______ upon which Jesus died”

“I will cherish the old rugged ______”
