The New Preacher


Recommended Posts

A young preacher was asked by a funeral director to hold a graveside

service for a man who died with no family or friends. The funeral was held

way back in the country and the young preacher got lost on the way. When

he arrived an hour late, he saw a backhoe and crew, but the hearse was

nowhere in sight. The workmen were eating lunch.

The diligent pastor went to the open grave to find the vault lid in place,

but still he poured out his heart and preached an impassioned and lengthy

service. Returning to his car, the young preacher felt that he had done

his duty and he would leave with a renewed sense of purpose and

dedication, in spite of his tardiness.

As he got into his car, he overheard one of the workers talking to another

worker, "I've been putting in septic tanks for 20 years, and I ain't never seen

anything like that before. Sort of gives new meaning to the term 'Holy Sh*t',

doesn't it?"
