    That’s why I’m glad our church has a nursery!

    How can a bunch of plants and shrubs quiet down these screaming kids?

    Our country church went a span of four years without children. Now as families move in again, we are seeing them return. We think that crying babies are music to our ears.

    Funny punch line today!

    well, when one has a writer’s block, one always has the option to dig out a joke that must be fifty years old…
    it time now for some more thumping:

    thump thump thump

    I see that Pastor Present is back with his congregation.

    Notice that the size of the church building in the 1st panel is no bigger than the Walnut Grove church building in the ‘Little House on the Prairie” TV series. But, when the interior view is shown, it holds several hundred people.

    The babies already crying before they were taken into the building. See the 1st panel.

    My dad called a church’s baby nursery, the “bawl room.” He wasn’t against having one of them because he was on a church board when the church built a new building next door to the original to be used as the sanctuary and a baby nursery was included, too.

    It looks funny here in the cartoon but can you imagine it in real life? The woman shouts over her shoulder at the pastor as she’s leaving the room, “Well, YOU’RE disturbing HIM!” They’d be talking about it for weeks.

    Jer 9:22 Speak, “Thus declares יהוה, ‘The corpses of men shall fall as dung on the face of the field, like cuttings after the reaper, with none to gather them.’ ”
    Jer 9:23 Thus said יהוה, “Let not the wise boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty boast in his might, nor let the rich boast in his riches,
    Jer 9:24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am יהוה, doing kindness, right-ruling, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” declares יהוה.

    Where my family goes to church sometimes a child will have say something that was unexpected and the pastor went with it.

    I’m not sure if you’re joking or not so I’ll assume you’re not. Most churches have a nursery or room where you take your baby. The ladies of the church sign up to babysit the kids periodically to keep them out of the service so they won’t disturb others.

    The two worst that have remained with me from my long-gone churchgoing years were the little boy who grabbed my hair in an iron grip and pulled as hard as he could (his parents did nothing to control him until I reached back to try and extract his fingers from my hair) and the crying toddler who took in a huge breath and then let out an earsplitting scream while swinging himself behind my head and the heads of three other people in my row.
    Neither of these little angels’ parents thought they needed to take their kids out of the service.
