Howdy :), it's me, Joe Cosity here!

In a small town I was recently visiting, where accents run
thick, there was a Nativity Scene that showed much great
skill and talent had gone into it's creation.

However, one small feature about the scene bothered me. The
three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.

As I was leaving town, I stopped at a gas station to fuel up.
With my curiosity getting the best of me, I asked the lady
behind the counter about the helmets.

"Haven't you never read the Bible!" she asked me.

I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything
about the wise men being associated with firemen in the Bible.

She pulled her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled
through some pages, finally finding her desired passage.

Showing it to me, she said, "See, it says right here, 'The
three wise man came from afar.'"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days
of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the
Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to
worship him.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the
chief priests and scribes of the people together, he
demanded of them where Christ should be born.

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it
is written by the prophet, and thou Bethlehem, in the land
of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for
out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people
Israel.

Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,
enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And
he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently
for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me
word again, that I may come and worship him also.

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw
the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped
him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented
unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being
warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country another way.

And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young
child to destroy him.

When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
night, and departed into Egypt: and was there until the death
of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my
son. -Matthew 2:1

I'm glad you could join me for today's content, and I look
forward to bringing you more next time!

Until then, bye-bye!

Miscellaneous Jokes :: #10670 By Suzanne Lockyer from NW Ontario Canada An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament. Dear Bubba: I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. Love, Dad A few days later, he received a letter from his son. Dear Dad: For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES. Love, Bubba At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day, the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Dad: Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances.

QUOTE: Success, Emerson "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." -Ralph Waldo Emerson     aJokeADay.com - www.ajokeaday.com 4179 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60641 1995-2008 © All rights reserved.
