That night the pastor’s phone rang at 3 a.m. On the other end was a dear elderly lady who said, “Pastor, I can’t sleep.”

“Ha-ha,” he laughed, relishing her humor. “Where do you really live?”
“I’m just visiting here.”

“Oh no, Doctor,” the man said nervously, “I’m not allowed up on the furniture.”

My dry cleaner very generously provides a stack of free newspapers for his customers.
As I took my copy, I told him, “I hope the business grows enough to offset the cost of the papers.”
