A little girl is sitting on her grandpa’s lap and studying the wrinkles on his old face.
She gets up the nerve to rub her fingers over the wrinkles.
Then she touches her own face and looks more puzzled.
Finally the little girl asks, “Grandpa, did God make you?”
“He sure did honey, a long time ago,” replies her grandpa.
“Well, did God make me?” asks the little girl.
“Yes, He did, and that wasn’t too long ago,” answers her grandpa.
“Boy,” says the little girl, “He’s sure doing a lot better job these days isn’t He?”

A man is trying to understand the nature of God, time, and the Universe. He asks God,
“How long is a billion years to you?”
God says, “A billion years is like a second to me.”
The man asks, “Well, how much is a billion dollars to you?”
God says, “A billion dollars is like a penny to me.”
So the man says, “God, can I have a penny?”
And God replies, “In a sec.”

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic primary school for lunch.
At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.
The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray, “Take only one. God is watching.”
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
One child whispered to another, “Hey, we can take all we want. God is watching the apples.”

Not long after his marriage, Joe and his father met for lunch.
“Well, son,” asked the father, “how is married life treating you?”
“Not very well, I’m afraid,” sighed Joe. “It seems I married a nun.”
“A nun?” his father questioned.
“That’s right,” moaned Joe. “None in the morning, none at night, and none at all unless I beg!”
Joe’s father nodded knowingly and slapped his boy on the back a couple of times.
“Why don’t we all get together for dinner tonight and have a nice talk?”
Joe smiled, “Say, Dad, that’s a great idea!”
“Fine,” replied the father, “I’ll call home and tell the Mother Superior to set two extra plates.”

There once was a husband and wife who were unable to have children.
After consulting everyone who would listen to their problem, they were still unsatisfied. Finally, they consulted their family priest.
“My children,” the priest began, “The Lord will listen to your prayers, and I am sure that you will be blessed with children shortly. In fact, I am planning an extended stay in Rome, and while I’m visiting the Vatican, I will light a candle for you.”
“Thank you, Father, thank you!” said the couple.
Before leaving, the priest turned and said, “I am sure everything will work out just fine for you. My stay in Rome will be for quite some time–15 years. But when I return, I will be sure to visit you.”
And so, 15 years came and went, and the priest returned to the States.
While resting on his porch one mid-summer morning, he remembered the promise of paying a visit that he had made 15 years ago. So he made his way to their home, and upon arriving at the residence of the couple who’d sought his counsel years earlier, he rang the doorbell.
Sounds of crying and screaming children filled the air! Overjoyed by the thought that their prayers had been answered, he entered the house. More than a DOZEN children filled the house from top to bottom! In the midst of all the chaos stood the wife.
“My dear,” the priest said, “your prayers have been answered! And where is your husband? I wish to congratulate him, too, on your miracle!”
“He just left for Rome,” she said in a very desperate tone.
“Rome? Why did he go to Rome?” asked the priest.
“To blow out that candle you lit!”

90-year-old George went for his annual physical.
All of his tests came back with normal results.
Dr. Darns said, “George, everything looks great physically. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with yourself, and do you have a good relationship with your God?”
George replied, “God and me are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he’s fixed it so that when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (poof!) the light goes on when I pee, and then (poof!) the light goes off when I’m done.”
“Wow,” commented Dr. Darnes, “that’s incredible!”
A little later in the day Dr. Darnes called George’s wife.
“Thelma,” he said, “George is just fine. Physically he’s great. But I had to call because I’m in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and (poof!) the light goes on in the bathroom, and then (poof!) the light goes off?”
Thelma exclaimed, “That old fool! He’s been peeing in the refrigerator again!”
================================
A blonde nun was praying in her room when God appeared before her,
“My daughter, you have pleased me greatly. Your heart is full of love and your prayers are always for the benefit of others. I have come to commend you and to grant you anything you wish.”
“Oh, Father, I am perfectly happy. I do what I love. The Church supports me. I am content. I need nothing.”
“There must be something you would like,” said God.
Well, there is one thing.”
“Name it,” said God. She frowned.
“It’s those blonde jokes. They’re so demeaning, not just to me but to blondes everywhere. Can you stop them?”
“Consider it done,” said God.
“Blonde jokes are hereby stricken from the minds of humans everywhere. But isn’t there something I could do just for you?”
“Well, there’s one thing. But it’s really small and not worth Your time,” she said.
“Tell me, please!” said God.
“It’s the M&M’s,” she said. “They’re so hard to peel!”
