The Merry Heart – Dear IRS…

[With this being Tax Season, here is our obligatory IRS joke.- Rick]

A couple of weeks after hearing a sermon on Psalm 51:2-4 (knowing my own hidden secrets) and Psalm 52:3-4 (lies and deceit), a man wrote the following letter to the IRS:

I know, I am a delinquent grandpa. But I am triumphant as well. Yesterday – Friday 4-3, Atticus returned home from the hospital. It is impossible for me to comprehend how a little boy, less than a year old, can have heart surgery and go home a week later.

The Merry Heart – Lord or No Lord

A religious women upon waking up each morning would open her front door stand on the porch and scream, “Praise the lord.” This infuriated her atheist neighbor who would always make sure to counter back, “there is no Lord.”

One morning the atheist neighbor overheard his neighbor praying for food, thinking it would be funny, he went and bought her all sorts of groceries and left them on her porch. The next morning the lady screamed, “praise the Lord, who gave me this food.”

The neighbor laughing so hard he could barely get the words out screamed “it wasn’t the Lord, it was me.” The lady without missing a beat screamed “praise the Lord for not only giving me food but making the atheist pay for it!!”
