THE PASTOR'S CAT
Who say's the Creator doesn't have a sense of humor?
The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb,so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.
That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went "boing!" and the kitten instantly sailed through the air -out of sight. The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten.
So he prayed,"Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,"and went on about his business.
A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it,so he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?"
She replied, "You won't believe this,"and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, "Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it.
"She told the pastor, "I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes.
A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread,and landed right in front of her."
Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of humor!
Neener Caucus ping!
Outstanding! LOL!
Not bad, but the punch line needs some work.
truthorfiction.com remains unconvinced.
So neener.
Thread jacking alert.
How ‘bout “Cat A Pult”?
There you go checking up on me again. / snark
Fiction or not, I've seen enough to say... Amen!
I should say “True or not...” — these kind of things DO happen!
My Pastor will enjoy this!
{His wife is a cat lover.}
“Hello, Alec? This is your neighbor, Bob. I was wondering if you could help me out. I have a meeting to go to, and I need to have someone keep an eye on the kids.”
“Hah-hah. Easy, big fella. It’s not that big a deal. It’s just a couple of hours. They could just watch TV, or a movie or something. ... What’s that? Um, no, they haven’t seen that one. ... Really? Well, maybe. Anyway, they won’t be any trouble.”
“Hmm? No, I don’t think you’ll need to go that far. In fact, if you did bring out a rope, they’d probably tie you in a chair. ... Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that. Didn’t mean to bring up a painful memory, Buddy.”
“So, can you help me out? Do what? Yeah, I guess. They’re not very good cooks, but they can probably handle making pizza or something. ... No, they don’t drink that. ... No, they don’t drink that either. Don’t you have something a little ... Yeah, water would be okay. They’re not picky.”
“So it’s okay? Great. I owe you one, old Pal. ... No, sorry, I don’t do that sort of thing. Well, yeah, I have a gun, but I use it for a different purpose. No, I don’t know anyone who does that either. ‘Fraid I don’t exactly run in the same circles you do, Fella. ... Yeah, I’m sure you’ll find someone. Hmm? No, I don’t think my kids would do it, either. Okay, I’ll see you in a few minutes then.”
Tha’s pretty much the image I had of that cat flying
through the air. And this is what it sounded like:

Great monologue about a person who
should lose their parenting permit.
MEOWURR!
Tried to find one that sounded like the cat hitting the ground.
Guess I failed.
Holy Flying Squirrels Batman! LOL!!!
