Bonus #Joke
A man joined a cloistered order, and one of the things he noticed was that the same food was served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Also, all the meals were eaten in silence except for one elderly monk who would say "Hebrews, Chapter 13 verse 8" before every meal.
After a week or so of this ritual, he was intrigued and decided to look up this passage in the Bible.
When he did, he burst out laughing because it said, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever!"
