Some Good Stuff at the River

A minister was completing a temperance sermon.

With great emphasis he said, 'If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

With even greater emphasis he said, 'And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, 'And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it into the river.'

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, 'For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365, 'Shall We Gather at the River.'

Funny!! Although that mix sounds pretty bad.

I have been sober for 5 years now because of the Lord. "Hello" from Speedcat ... I just read your comment at BRBloggers :)

That evoked an image of the whole congregation rushing to the river with tin cups in hand.
