   After explaining the commandment to honor 
your father and mother, a Sunday School teacher asked her class if there
 was a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and 
sisters.

      One boy, the oldest in his family, immediately answered, "Thou shalt not kill."

	Bubba goes to the revival and listens to the preacher. After a while, the preacher asks anyone with needs to come forward and be prayed over. Bubba gets in line and when it�s his turn the preacher says, �Bubba, what you want me to pray about? � Bubba says, �Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing.� So the preacher puts one finger in Bubba�s ear and the other hand on top of his head and prays a while. After a few minutes, he removes his hands and says, �Bubba, how�s your hearing now?� Bubba says, �I don�t know preacher, it�s not until next Wednesday.�

	I like the approach of using human to bridge religious divides ! After suffering a heart attach and having quadruple bypass surgery, a man woke up to find himself in a Catholic hospital with nuns taking care of him. As they nursed him back to health, one of the nuns asked him if he had health insurance. "No," he replied, "No health insurance." "Do you have any money in the bank?" asked the nun. "No. No money in the bank." The nun asked, "Do you have any relatives you could ask for help?" The man replied, "I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun." At this the nun because irritated. "Nuns are not spinsters. Nuns are married to God!" "OK, then," said the man. "Send the bill to my brother-in-law."
