Rave of the Day for April 3, 2007:
More funnies I found in the course of unpacking. I'm thinking of putting a humor page on my spiritual website at some point, and these will likely be on there.....
A new pastor moved into town and went out on Saturday to visit his parishioners. All went well until he came to one house. It was obvious that someone was home, but no one came to the door after he had knocked several times.
Finally, he took out his card, wrote on the back "Revelation 3:20" and stuck it in the door.
The next day, as he was counting the offering, he found his card in the collection plate. Below his message was the notation "Genesis 3:10".
Revelation 3:20 reads: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and opens the door, I will come to him and will dine with him, and he will with me."
Genesis 3:10 reads: "And he said, 'I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked."

As you are receiving notes by e-mail, it's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.
Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. As the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything is prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Signed,
Your eternally loving husband
P.S. Sure is hot down here.
