lightening up

after the fairly "heavy" posts of the last couple of days, i bring you this:

How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

Charismatics: Only 1; hands are already in the air.

Pentecostals: 10; One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None; Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholics: None; candles only

Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken

Episcopalians: 10; One to change the bulb, and nine to talk about how much better the old one was.

Methodists: Uncertain. A committee must be appointed to study the question.

Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

Unitarians : We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

TV evangelists: One, but for the message of light to continue, send in your donation today.

I'm sending this one to Pastor Jack. He'll get a kick out of it...and probably read it in church on Sunday.
