Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?'
80% held up their hands.
The Minister then repeated his question.
All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.
'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?'
I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly.
'Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?'
'Ninety-eight.' she replied.
'Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?'
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said:
'I've outlived the bitches.'

That's awesome.
This reminds me of a joke my uncle told me years ago.
One Sunday the devil walked into a church full of people. Everyone fled, including the minister, shrieking in terror . . . except one old man in the front row. The devil walked up to him, glared at him and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
"Yep," was the calm reply.
"Aren't you afraid?" he growled.
"Nope," the man answered.
Frustrated and angered the devil yelled, "Well, why the hell not?"
The man looked up with a smile and said, "Shoot, I've been married to your sister for over 50 years."
