The Pastor's Teeth
A church received a new pastor; on his first sermon, he spoke for 10 minutes. The second sermon he spoke for forty minutes. The third message lasted almost 2 hours. 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, "On the first day, I had just received a new set of teeth, and after the first 10 minutes, they began to hurt, and I asked the Lord to let me close. The second message lasted about 40 minutes, which is 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 2 hours to let me end the message. I took my wife out to eat; back at home, I took my teeth out to clean and realized I put my wife's teeth in that morning."
