15. I tried to repeat that to my wife
got as far as "see his" and cracked up, but she got it anyway and almost died laughing.

when we both recovered I stammered out "three more weeks of lent" and we both wet ourselves

best time we've had together in months

19. Cardinal George fractures hip in fall. Slipped on marble floor "in his exuberance with holy water"
Chicago- George, 70, was at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church on the Northwest Side Saturday morning to bless baskets of food for Easter meals and slipped on some holy water that had splashed onto the marble floor, said Colleen Dolan, spokeswoman for the archdiocese.

"He took a fall . . . in his exuberance with the holy water," Dolan said. "He was concerned when it started to hurt more. That is why he wanted to check, and we're glad he did."

On Saturday, doctors performed a series of tests on George. He is scheduled to see an orthopedic doctor Sunday.

"He feels fine. He is in very good shape," Dolan said. "He won't miss a beat and he will be back at work."

20. "in his exuberance with holy water"
:rofl:

see that is the problem with Cardinal's today. they simply don't understand the importance of conservation. waste not want not I always say.

damned Cardinal's just splash that Holy Water around like it will NEVER run out! If there is ONE THING Al Gore has taught us it is that Holy Water is evaporating at an alarming rate! Christ! Soon there won't even be enough water on Planet Earth to WALK ON!

i'm telling you. if we don't watch our Holy Water consumption now, there will be HELL to pay!

27. and nobody else saw his shadow, either. Happy Easter!
Jesus had already risen, so there was no shadow to leave.

The Lord has Risen, indeed! Alleluia!

28. Be encouraged

Where there's a shadow

32. Well I knew my Easter sermon was a good one when...
four visitors to the church ran scurrying for the door when I said, "I do not maintain a belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth as requisite for salvation. Not least because I fail to see exactly what it is from which we need to be saved."

I could see it coming. Their shoulders were a wee bit stiff and the lips pursed when the prelude was "Feeling Good" as sung by Michael Buble and the words to "Jesus Christ is Risen Today" were changed to "Let All Hearts Arise Today."

It might behoove someone to do a little research on the church before they show up on Easter Sunday. Bwaaahhhaa!

37. Considering it's about 30 degrees right now, I guess there's 6 more weeks of winter.
Have I mentioned that I hate winter?

38. Even though I've already seen this post, it still cracks me up
every time. Can I sit next to you on the train to hell? I bet you'd be good company.
