This is a hoot, but I suspect the minister didn't appreciate it.

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.'"

Smile, life is too short not to!
.
See you at the river

Don't be so serious, laugh a little and get rid of the wrinkles. Save my spot at the river!
