From Our Pastor

A nervous young preacher was preaching his first sermon.  He preached on the Second Coming of Christ.  He quoted from Revelation 22.  He ran toward the edge of the platform and said with great enthusiasm, “Behold, I come quickly!” But he lost his train of thought and didn’t know what to say next.  So, he just ran forward again and said, “Behold, I come quickly!”  He still couldn’t remember what to say next.  When he tried it again, he tripped on a cord and lost his balance.  He fell right into the lap of an old deacon sitting in the first pew.  He apologized.  The deacon said “Don’t worry about it, son.  You warned me three times that you were coming!”
