One day, This 90 year old Texan decided that he is getting old. He realized that
he may not go to heaven because he is not a Christain and had never been to Church.
So, he went to see a Presbyterian Minister trying to join the congregation. The
Minister wanted to see how well he knows the Bible before letting him join and asked
him,
"Can you tell me where Jesus was born?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Right here in Lufkin!"
The Minister said, "My friend, you need to go home and study the Bible some more.
When you've learn enough, I'll consider your membership."
The old man went home and began study the Bible. A week later, he decided that
he just can't wait because he may die any day. So, he tried to join the Baptist
Church.
The Baptist Minister asked him the same question of Jesus' birth place.
The old man said to the Minister, "He was born at Natchitooches!"
The Minister again told the old man that he needed to study the Bible more
before being accepted.
The old man went home and began worrying that he may died before he learn all
about the Bible to become a Christian. So, he went to see a Catholic Priest.
The Catholic Priest was really nice and told the old man that the Church has
Mass every 30 minutes and that he can come in any time he wants. The Priest also
thanked him for joining.
The old man asked, "Is that all, Father?"
The Priest told him yes and said, "See you next Sunday."
The old man then asked, "Father, will you tell me where Jesus was born?"
The Priest answered, "Why, yes, He was born in Palestine."
The old man exclaimed, "Dog gone it, I know it was somewhere in Texas!"
