01 Apr 05 If Only It Could Happen

Today is the favorite day of every elementary kid in America! Our kids were pumped and primed to hand out and receive every conceivable April Fools joke imaginable. Speaking of conceivable, no jokes involving family additions or deletions are ever allowed on this day. You have to be a bit more creative!

For instance, if I tell my wife that I bought a boat she will think it to be an April Fools joke, right? What if I actually buy the boat and the joke is that I really did buy the boat? What do you think? Of course it would be hard to enjoy the boat with two broken legs and two broken arms!

Thinking of all the fun the kids will have today, here are my top ten ministerial April Fools jokes. The things we in the ministry will only hear on April Fools day.

10) The budget committee decided last night to increase the worship budget by $50K
9) Several people complained again about your preaching, we told them to find a new church. If you think we need live animals for the Christmas service than live animals it is.
7) Sabbatical? We think you should spend 3 months each year in Jamaica.
6) From now on you are free to unleash your creativity for our weekly assemblies.
5) We can’t have our preacher driving around in a tan minivan. Here’s the key to a brand-new corvette.
4) Wouldn’t it be better to have those singers on stage instead of the front row?
3) The ladies Bible class has worked up a rap number to share the story of Jesus at Easter.
2) We can’t think of any compelling reason why you should be involved in VBS.
1) Anything they do at the ZOE conference this year you are free to do here.

That about wraps my list up. How about you. What fun things would you like to hear today?
