"New Pastor's Sermons"

A church received a new pastor. On his first
sermon he spoke for ten minutes. The second
sermon he spoke was about forty minutes.
Yet the third message lasted almost two hours,
as the pastor watched the time and asked
the Lord to let him close.

Before the next service several of the members
had a talk with him, "Pastor," they said, "We love
the messages you have given us, but we don't
understand why the time frame difference."

The pastor replied with, "On the first day I had just
received a new set of teeth, and after the first
ten minutes they began to hurt, and I asked the Lord
to let me close."

"The second message lasted about forty minutes,
which is about normal for me."

"I was amazed at the length of the third one. I could
not understand why I kept preaching. I finally asked
the Lord at about two hours to let me end the message.
After the service I took my wife out to eat. Then back
at home I took my teeth out to clean, and I realized that
I had put my wife's teeth in that morning!"
