I don't like bells clanging all the time, though...<br /><br />Did you hear about the man who tried to steal from the rectory and the priest chased him away and he went and hid in the bell tower?<br /><br />Well, that's true. But then a terrible thing happened. He tripped and fell head first into the bell which began clanging and swinging and knocked the poor guy right out of the tower where he landed on the ground and died!<br /><br />People gathered around and someone asked the priest if he knew the man. The priest looked him over very carefully, and and then said:<br /><br />"Can't say that I do, but his face sure rings a bell!"Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-7174626056558958622009-07-17T22:35:32.283+01:002009-07-17T22:35:32.283+01:00Is there a Quasimodo of Lisbon?Is there a Quasimodo of Lisbon?Prosperohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114988815558549577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-33955313637885683472009-07-17T22:00:14.261+01:002009-07-17T22:00:14.261+01:00i love all the old churches in Europe.
