I know a woman is Christian enough for me when:

1. For my birthday she buys me a book from Rob Bell, but not to read it, only to use it as a coaster for my "Beware of False Teachers" coffee mug, which she bought for me the year before.

2. She lets me sit in the isle seat of the church pew, so when the service ends I can make a quick sprint towards the "refreshments" table in the church basement and eat up all the good snacks before everyone else gets there.

3. When I ask her what her favorite Bible verse is, she says its the one that declares a woman is to submit to a man, and so I immediately tell her to make me a sandwich, and she responds "I'm backsliding at the moment, go make it yourself!!!"
Number three. Zing!!


I once knew a girl so cross eyed she could sit on the front porch and see what was going on in the back yard.

My friend has an uncle with one eye that is perpetually pointing downward and to the side a little, it's stuck that way.....but his other eye is perfectly fine. You have to watch that man if you want to play poker with him, don't let him deal. He can seriously stack a deck while he is looking right at you and talking to you. lol

I know a woman is Christian enough for me when:

1. Every time my Church has an altar call for prayer, she trips the person walking down the isle in front of me, so I can be the first person to get prayed for.

2. During the church picnic, she's my very loud, obnoxious, and overly-devoted cheerleader while I'm playing badminton against the senior pastor.

3. She says every time I call her name, she hears angels singing (at least that's what AzureAfire said happens when she hears me say her name).

I know a woman is Christian enough for me when:

1. She puts in a pre-order for a mansion in Heaven right across the golden street from where mine will be.

2. She joins the church choir, but not because she can sing well, but so she can keep watch over me during the worship service to make sure no other women in the congregation try to talk to me (jealousy isn't always bad, is it???).

3. Since my real name is Matthew, I tell her that I wrote the first Gospel, and she actually believes me (gullibility is an underrated virtue). If any one believes what I just wrote, please give me a call - you're just the type I'm looking for!!!

Thank you, BananaPie.

By the way, I went to high school with your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather PecanPie!!!

He was a good guy, but he had a bit of a "crusty" attitude!!!

Hahaha,this had me laughing so hard, this dude is so funny! And hopefully he brings her back a cup of tea cause HEbrews...

But on topic... For me, a man who can love the Lord more than he loves me will be able to properly lead me and his family (the way Christ intended) and I could love a man like that forever and ever and ever... not only will we have a Christ centred marriage but his love for the Lord will encourage me to stay inlove with the Lord (not that I ever wouldn't, but ya know life gets hard sometimes and it's easy to backslide). I also believe children are more receptive to a fathers leadership so if he has the right idea (i.e love the lord with all his heart) so will our children. I would take that man over a charity, church going man any day because a man who loves the Lord with all his heart- everything else should naturally fall into place (faith, works, love etc etc).

I know a woman is Christian enough for me when......................

1. She lets me have her once-a-year 50% off coupon for the local Christian book store, and instead of using it to buy her something, she tells to buy myself a Christian journal which has the verse "It's better to give than to receive" printed at the top of every page. (Apparently, I like women who are sarcastically ironic and make me feel guilty about receiving gifts!!!)

2. We watch the Christian movie "Fireproof" and she asks me what I would save in a house fire at my home if I could only save one thing - either my fresh bag of Chunks Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies or my favorite photo of her, and I pick the cookies, and she strenuously holds back her anger and disappointment with me (I like a woman who can show restraint!!!).

3. She becomes a deacon at my church just so she can pass around the offering plate to ensure that I put money "into" the plate and not take money "out of" the plate like I usually do. It's important to have an accountability partner!!!

Hey good to seeyou Descyple how are you? How is Azura? Miss you guys and your funny banter!
Hi Fenner.

Actually I kidnapped AzureAfire from the Phillipines and I have her locked up in my basement writing jokes for me to post on CC, that way I can spend more time styling my hair!!!

By the way, I wrote this joke, not her (I can't let her get all the credit!!!).

Oh man you are funny! I hope you're feeding her! Bill Clinton was on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night and Jimmy asked him what he thought of Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford and he said, well I'll just show it to you, here is the clip, it was funny. Well the 1st part of his conversation is about Rob Ford. [video=youtube_share;Q3GEu9KA0nA]http://youtu.be/Q3GEu9KA0nA[/video]

Actually I am feeding her. I am feeding her cookies from the Chunky Chips Ahoy bag I saved from my house fire (see joke above). My "chocolate prioritizing" paid off after all.

I know a woman is Christian enough for me when....................

1. She pays half of my church tithes for me (I'd save a lot of money that way!!!).

2. Since my real name is Matthew, she always refers to me as "One of the Twelve" - John 20:24.

3. Every time I take her to Dairy Queen, she goes on an immediate fast from food, so I don't have to share my Double Fudge Cookie Dough Blizzard with her!!!
It's been a long while since i've spread crazy here on CC :rolleyes: and now, my Crazy Cutie has just lit the match to my crazy keg. AGAIN :cool:

1. Yup, i do pay half of his church tithes for him :rolleyes: with the money he's got stashed in a jar for buying his chocolate goodies :cool:

Nah, i'm just kidding XD i'm not that cruel!!! I do that, so he'd take care of my groceries every month :rolleyes: and my clothing, and my hair extensions, and my internet bills....seems only fair, right??? ;)

2. Yes, i do refer to him as "One of the Twelve"....reasons why i can't leave the house :rolleyes: because i will miss out on A LOT of crazy awesomeness (had to be sweet in this one!!! :eek:)

3. Hmm....yes, i have decided to go on a fast whenever we go to Dairy Queen. That's because i have to give myself a break from so much of that Double Fudge Cookie Dough Blizzard i've been having for the rest of the week, when i go out while he's sleeping!!! :cool: (the sedatives really work for long hours!!! Well, it was made for elephants :rolleyes: i figured i'd need that much stopping power, so as not to be discovered!!! XD).

Yup. I am currently detained in his basement, while he spends his time staying pretty, and i rack my brains for more craziness :( i thought he meant to give me at least a nice little house in his backyard, and take me out for walks every now and then!!!

Pets have rights too, Descyple!!! o.o;
