Speaking of Old Folks

One old fellow never missed church on Sunday, until he turned 105. Then he suddenly stopped going. The pastor was concerned, so he went to check that the fellow was all right. He was fine, so the pastor asked him why he had stopped coming to church.

Well, said the old fellow. I was sure by the time I turned 90 the Good Lord would take me, but no. I thought the same thing at 95 and 100, but still no. So I figured the Lord was busy and had forgotten about me.

The pastor was puzzled and asked,

So you figured the Lord no longer cared about you, had deserted you, so you would stop coming to church?

The fellow answered,

Oh, no! I figured if He had forgotten about me, I wasn’t about to go to church and remind Him I was still here!
