Here is another one of Joel Osteen's jokes for you.
"I heard about this pastor. He was finishing up a fiery sermon on self control.
He said with great passion,
If I had all the beer in the world, I'd throw it in the river.
With greater ferber, If I had all the wine in the world, I'd throw it in the river.
Almost at the top of his lungs, If I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd throw it in the river.
He sat down, the song leader came up.
He said for our closing song, Let's sing Hymn 365.....
Shall we Gather at the River."
Not only was this a good story, but it reminded me of when I was baptized.
Back in the day, when they actually did "gather at the river" to baptize people, in eastern Kentucky.
Fond memory.
