Dimetra's Funnies, Etc. for July 2007

A Young Preacher

As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside service for a homeless man with no family or friends.  The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest.

As I was not familiar with the back woods area, I soon became lost, and being a typical man did not stop for directions.  I finally arrived an hour late.  I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was no where in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place.  I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do.  The workers gathered around still eating lunch.  I poured out my heart and soul.  As I preached the workers began to say, "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and "Glory."  I preached and preached like I'd never preached before, from Genesis all the way to Revelations.

I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car.  As I was opening the car door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't ever seen anything like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for 20 years!"
