Priest Drops Dead at Climax of Sermon

 

69 year old Rev. Jack Arnold was giving his Sunday sermon at the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Florida. "Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done....I go to be with Jesus" he declared.

"And when I go to heaven...." he added - and then dropped down dead. Paramedics and parishioners tried in vain to help Arnold. His demise is believed to be due to cardiac arrest, since he had a history of heart surgery.

  I guess  
 God was pretty impressed with him and figured that was a good note to leave on.

 "And on the seventh day the boys choir gave a collective sigh of relief."

  Re:priest climaxing  
 ROFL! The priest was 69 years old which imo is why someone misread that as priest climaxing.

 Is that what you are hoping happened? 
 by: mullisoft   01/11/2005 05:38 PM     
  Well...  
 It didn't really miss it off the end of the article so I assume you realise its a fib!

  Wow  
 What a time to die. Death isn't sposed to be funny but, I'm ashamed to say, you can't not find this kind of humorous. Also I kind of find it funny that the parishioners tried to revive him when his message and the timing should have made it pretty clear what God was saying.

  Catchy Headline  
 I'm not sure priest, climax and sermon belong in the same headline.

  hahaha!  
 God sure is mysterious! 
 by: labouruk   01/13/2005 07:04 PM     
  Smile?  
 So does that mean he died with a big smile on his face?
