Jesus Saves Me Again

I am not the biggest fan of jokes. I really don't like being told a joke and having to pay sufficient attention to give a courtesy laugh when the punch line arrives. I don't mind written jokes nearly as much as spoken ones, because I can read them if I want to, with there being no one requiring a courtesy laugh when I reach the punch line.

Alma, the Songbird of the Texas Gulf Coast, each and every day sends me at least one email joke that I find amusing. Alma has a really good sense of humor.

Below is one of today's amusing Alma jokes....

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused. They faxed. They e-mailed. They e-mailed with attachments. They downloaded. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They created labels and cards. They created charts and graphs. They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and Jesus and the Devil restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

"It's gone! It's all GONE! I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.

Satan observed this and became irate.

"Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

God just shrugged and said............

"JESUS SAVES!"
