The Coffin ~ Halloween Comedy


The Coffin

(Halloween fun ~ with apologies to the Lord for wasting precious time.)

The night was dark and spooky as
He started to walk home,
A fog was falling and those eerie
Noises seemed to moan.
The hackles rose upon his neck
He turned around to see
A coffin standing upright, and said
“It is following me!!
He started walking faster as
He listened to its bump;
As fast as he went, so it went and
Even gave a jump.
His heart was racing madly as
He sprinted for his home;
If he could get into the house
It might leave him alone.
The steps he fairly jetted ~
He locked the door behind;
He heard the coffin coming ~
It smashed the door and chime!
So he “flew” up to the bathroom ~
Up on the second floor,
He shut the door and locked it but


The coffin came once more!
He heard the bumps come steadily...
His heart was in his throat;
He looked about for anything
To deal a deadly blow....
Bump, bump, it came now faster!
He knew his time was gone!
He reached into the cabinet
Cough medicine ~ all he found....
With all his might he hurled it ~
The bottle loudly popped...
It broke upon the coffin and...
(Are you ready, Freddie?
Are you game, Jane?
Are you ready, spooks and goblins?)
.............And then...
And then...
The coffin,,,,,
............
Stopped!!!

HOW DO I VISUALIZE MYSELF? - By: Frank E. Henrich


HOW DO I VISUALIZE MYSELF?


When from sleep I rose this morning,
Sitting on my bed with feet flung,
I did think a profound question,
How do I visualize myself?

Am I an eighty year old man
With little hair and a bent body
Whose body is scared with much life,
How do I visualize myself?

Oh no! In my wonderful mind
I am a twenty-nine year old,
Man fresh and full of energy,
How do I visualize myself?

Others may see what they do see
But I do not care, for you see
I never lost my 29 year body
That's how I visualize myself?

When I plan my day each morning
I think how can my young body
Fulfill daily fun and life duties
That's how I visualize myself.

What you say? "You are an old man!"
When my Lord Jesus I will see
On those great Heavenly shores
Yes, I will be young in body.

The Holy Spirit lives in me
So with ever so much joy and love
I could not live as an old man
That's how I visualize myself.

How the Grinch Stole Missionary Books


How the Grinch Stole Missionary Books
Author Unknown.

Every whosoever down in Whosoeverville liked Missions a lot
And the Grinch liked Missions, but not every part.
The Grinch dislike reading books, the whole thing about reading.
Please don’t ask why, no one knows quite the reason.
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right,
Or it could be his sneakers were too tight!
I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his eyesight was not quite up to par.
But whatever the reason—his eyes or his shoes—
He lived around Whosoeverville and knew all those Whos.
He knew that in rain, sleet, sunshine or snow.
Whosoevers would still like to go
Get together and worship the Lord.
He knew when they’re together they’re never bored
For there’s singing and praying and preaching to do
The things that the Grinch like to do too.
He gave in the offerings to God and his work
For spreading the gospel would always come first.
They hammered their dulcimers and played their Who trumpets
And often you’d find them eating Who crumpets.
The kids loved to come too and make lots of noise,
Learn about Jesus and play with their toys.
And the fun—well, you never saw such a crowd!
Hey, does the Manual say that’s allowed?!
Oh, yes, and the Missions service was no exception to that,
For you’d never know what (name of local NMI president) would pull out of (his/her) hat!
The Grinch just loved it, except for one thing,
Read a missions book? You’ve gotta be kidding!
Then he got an idea—an awful idea!
The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea!
“I’ll break into the library and take every book,
I’ll hide them so they won’t know where to look!”
So one day when the little Whosoevers were snoozing,
And (insert name of church secretary) must have been out talking to (insert somebody’s name),
The Grinch found the key, slid it into the lock,
Went through the door and took one look at the clock.
Two minutes, I tell you, that’s all that it took,
To take every last Missions reading book!
He took all the tapes too, and can you believe it?
He took all the kid’s books, just at the last minute!
He checked down the hall, saw no one in sight,
Shut the door and turned out the light.
Little (insert name of kid at church) who had come out for a soda,
He saw the Grinch and said, “Whoa!
Where are you going with all those books in a bag?
Put them back now or my mom will be mad!”
But you know that Grinch was so smart and so slick,
He thought of a line and he thought of it quick.
“No, (name of church kid) dear, you don’t understand!
I’m the new church librarian!
I’m taking these books home to sort and to stack,
Now, don’t, (name of church kid), they’ll all come back.”
And with that, off he went in his Grinchymobile
Off out of sight, out over the hill.
So he took the books home and packed them away.
“Now, that’s the end of that,” he said.
But when he thought of what he had done,
He wondered shy the Whosoevers had so much fun,
Checking out the books week after week,
Well, it certainly won’t hurt, “I’ll just take a peek.”
And would you believe it, before he knew it,
He had read one missionary book, the whole way through it!
He read about snakes and dogs without tails,
Building of churches without any nails!
He stood to his feet and cried, “What should I do?
I’ll take them all back so more Whos can read too!”
The very next Sunday all things looked just the same,
But that day the Grinch took back his old name.
Now some say this story just couldn’t be true,
But (name of kid at church) told me. So I believe it, too.
“Who was this?” you ask. So now I will tell you.
You certainly know him; yet this may surprise you.
He’s no longer called the Grinch,
Today we affectionately call him Pastor . . .

LAUGHTER'S POWER - By: Sue Ellen Sprouse


LAUGHTER'S POWER

Laughter is a gift from God
That transcends grief and pain.
It's like a healing ointment
Spreading hope and peace again.

A chuckle from down deep within
Fills listeners with delight.
They soon join in the merriment
And troubles soon take flight.

Cherish the friend who laughs with you
Helping you smile through your tears.
For they are a prize to hold onto
And treasure throughout the years.

For laughter is like a medicine
The Psalmist said in truth.
It makes you feel alive again
And helps preserve your youth.

If we find humor in little things
As we live from day to day
We'll be as a ray of sunlight
And we'll brighten another's way.
