Church Squirrels - Some Thursday Humor with a message

By
Mortgage and Lending with Social Media - Infinity Home Mortgage Company, Inc

 

I get these jokes from my mom and dad some times, religious or political. I have always been one to laugh at myself, because I need humor daily. I am not afraid to be myself, even if I look like an idiot. It's rare, but it happens. 

In any case, don't take offense to this post, it's not to poke fun at any religion.  I am even Catholic and found a lot of humor in this, because it's so true. The bottom line, there is a message in here, but you need to find it. Happy hunting....  thanks mom...


 


 

 

Squirrels at a school bus stop

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


There were five houses of religion in a small town: 

The Presbyterian Church, 

The  Baptist Church, 

The Methodist Church  , 

The Catholic Church and 

The Jewish Synagogue. 


 

Each church and Synagogue was overrun with pesky squirrels. 


 

One day, the Presbyterian Church 

called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.  After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week 


 

The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back. 

 


 

But -- The Catholic Church 

came up with the best and most effective solution.   They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.   

Now they only see them on Christmas , Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter.

Not much was heard about the Jewish Synagogue, 

but they took one squirrel and had a short service with him called circumcision and they haven't seen a squirrel on the property since.

Keep going.... 


 

For all who appreciate the outdoors . .. .. the rarely photographed  South Florida  Squirrel.

laugh insanely, Love truly and forgive quickly

Jeff, that is so cute.  I love the Catholic Squirrels and of course, the south Florida Squirrels.  My mom in Baltimore has spent the past 15 years trapping squirrels in her yard and transplanting them, my old neighbor in Hamilton, NJ use to run outside and bark at them (I am sure after a few glasses of wine) and there is one here in FL outside of the lanai that drives my cat and the neighbors dog nuts.

I believe I just missed the South Florida squirrel on my way home.  When my kids were little our squirrel joke was:

Why did the chicken cross the road?  To show the squirrels it could be done.


Let it sink in a minute and then get back to me :-)

To build a church financial funding is the first and most difficult step. Solving this problem is almost the half way to construct church. You can solve this problem by the help of church mortgage companies.
