He was hesitant about hiring the third boy because he suffered from a speech impediment, but hired him anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So after the first days of work, they all met back at the church. The preacher looked at the first boy and asked him, \u201cHow many bibles did you sell?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boy stood up and said, \u201c35.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that all you sold?\u201d the preacher asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe looked at the second boy and asked him the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>The boy said, \u201c75.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s good,\u201d the preacher replied. He didn\u2019t want to ask the third boy but did. The boy with the speech impediment said, \u201cI-I-I s-s-sold 175.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The preacher was amazed and asked the boy how he managed to sell all those Bibles.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI-I-I t-t-t-t-told them to b-b-buy t-t-t-t-them or I will r-r-read it to t-t-t-t-them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An elderly woman had just returned to her home<br \/>\nfrom an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder.<\/p>\n<p>She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, \u201cStop! Acts 2:38!\u201d (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)<\/p>\n<p>The burglar stopped in his tracks, breathing hard. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.<\/p>\n<p>As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, \u201cWhy did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScripture?\u201d replied the burglar. \u201cShe said she had an ax and two 38\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was this Christian lady that had to do a lot of traveling for her business so she did a lot of flying.<br \/>\nBut flying made her nervous so she always took her Bible along with her to read and it helped relax her.<\/p>\n<p>One time she was sitting next to a man. When he saw her pull out her Bible he gave a little chuckle and went back to what he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he turned to her and asked: \u201cYou don\u2019t really believe all that stuff in there do you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lady replied \u201cOf course I do. It is the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cWell what about that guy that was swallowed by that whale?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She replied \u201cOh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that, it is in the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He asked, \u201cWell, how do you suppose he survived all that time inside the whale?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lady said \u201cWell I don\u2019t really know. I guess when I get to heaven I will ask him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if he isn\u2019t in heaven?\u201d the man asked sarcastically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen YOU can ask him.\u201d replied the lady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three little boys were looking for a summer job.
