                                  On a lighter note                      
                                  Joke of the Month.......
A minister who's memory wasn't that good nowadays attended a conference to encourage young preachers in their future ministries.

Among the presenters that day were some very dynamic speakers, (Probably Toastmaster) ,
one boldly approached the pulpit and in a loud voice said, 
"The best years of my life were
 spent in the arms of another mans wife".... 
The audience were shocked to say the least, 
then he added, 
"And that was my mother of course". 
The audience relaxed and  laughed and clapped and the rest of his speech went really well. 
The preacher was impressed with how they had all accepted his speech........
The next week the preacher thought he would give this humour thing a go, so he stood before his church congregation,  walked boldly  up to the pulpit and boldly stated. 
"The best years of my life were 
spent in the arms of another mans wife"..... 
The congregation inhaled almost all the air in the room and were IN SHOCK . 
The preacher stood in silence for about 20 seconds trying to remember the rest of the joke but finally blurted out .....
"And I'm sorry,
 but  I can't remember who she was" !!!!!!!
