Three preachers sat discussing the best positions for prayer while a telephone repairman worked nearby. "Kneeling is definitely best," claimed one. 

"No," another contended. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven." 

"You're both wrong," the third insisted. "The most effective prayer position is lying prostrate, face down on the floor." 

The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey, fellas, " he interrupted, "the best prayin' I ever did was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole."

A young boy called the pastor of a local "corner" church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. 

The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending another church down the road. So the pastor asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Brother Simon down the road to come by to pray with your mom?" 

The young boy replied, "Yeah, but we didn't want to take the chance that he might catch whatever this is that Mom has."

As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, "Anyone here know how to pray?" One man stepped forward. "Aye, Captain, I know how to pray."  "Good," said the captain, "you pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets - we're one short."
