    I LOVE these....I go to a church like this.

    1. The doors are never locked.
    2. The Call to Worship is, "Y'all come on in!"
    3. People grumble about Noah letting coyotes on the Ark.
    4. The Preacher says, "I'd like to ask Bubba to help take up the offering" -- and five guys stand up.
    5. The restroom is outside.
    6. Opening day of deer hunting season is recognized as an official church holiday.
    7. A member requests to be buried in his four-wheel drive truck because, "I ain't never been in a hole it couldn't get me out of."
    8. In the annual stewardship drive there is at least one pledge of "two calves."
    9. Never in its entire 100-year history has one of its pastors had to buy any meat or vegetables.
    10. When it rains, everybody's smiling.
    11. Prayers regarding the weather are a standard part of every worship service.
    12. A singing group is known as "The O.K. Chorale."
    13. The church directory doesn't have last names.
    14. The pastor wears boots.
    15. Four generations of one family sit together in worship every Sunday.
    16. The only time people lock their cars in the parking lot is during the summer and then only so their neighbors can't leave them a bag of squash.
    17. There is no such thing as a "secret" sin.
    18. Baptism is referred to as "branding."
    19. There is a special fund-raiser for a new septic tank.
    20. Finding and returning lost sheep is not just a parable.
    21. You miss worship one Sunday morning and by 2 o'clock that afternoon you have had a dozen phone calls inquiring about your health.
    22. High notes on the organ set dogs in the parking lot to howling.
    23. People wonder when Jesus fed the 5,000 whether the two fish were bass or catfish.
    24. It's not heaven, but you can see heaven from there.
    25. The final words, of the benediction are, "Y'all come on back now, ya hear!"

    My favorites are 16 and 23.

    AMEN! I love These:

    No. 6. Along with hunting season, you will find here, it is mandatory for the church to let our, just in time for the football games, and please, don't forget about Nascar season!

    No. 9, is the truth. My grandfather was a country pastor! There was always something to eat, that was given to him.

    No. 14, because with the plough boots was the Sunday go to meeting overalls! What a Face

    No. 19, the other fundraisers: well digging, and barn raising.
