He was notably very nervous and getting to the microphone he said loudly, “The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of another woman that was not my wife!” His congregation sat shocked.Īfter standing there for almost 10 seconds the pastor finally blurted out, “…and I can't remember who she was!” As he shyly approached the pulpit one Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head.

In his beautiful book, “I Shall Not Want,” Robert Ketchum tells of a Sunday School teacher who asked her group of children if anyone could quote the entire 23rd Psalm.
