Pastoral Visits

A Lutheran minister, wearing his clerical collar, visited his wife in the hospital. After a few moments of talking and prayer, he leaned over and gave her a big kiss, then said as he left the room, "You're the greatest!"

Later, the wife's roommate commented, "Your pastor is a lot friendlier than mine!"

And then there was the ailing elderly woman who, in spite of the pleadings of her children, refused to see a doctor. She didn't get any better, so they finally decided to call in a doctor anyway. When he arrived, they showed him into their mother's bedroom, where he proceeded to give her a thorough examination. Finally, he finished and went back where the family was anxiously waiting.

"How is she, doctor?" they anxiously inquired.

"Oh, just give her one of these each day and she should be right as rain in a week," and he handed them a bottle of pills.

After he left, they went in and circled Mama's bed. "What did you think of the new doctor, Mama?"

"Oh, that explains it. I thought he was awfully familiar for the preacher!"
