[Adult] First Things First

Priest retirement dinner
A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in
the parish.
A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to
make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner.
He was delayed, so the priest decided to say a few words while they
waited.
"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I
heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place.
The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had
stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to
lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled
from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife; taken illegal drugs,
and gave VD to his sister.
I was appalled. But as the days went on I knew that my people were not
all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good
and loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of
apologies at being late.
He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk.
"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived," said the
politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first one to
go to him in confession."
Moral: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER BE LATE!!!!!!!
