MARRIAGES….


h1 Thursday, July 14th, 2005

Once a youg woman married a very wealthy man they lived
many happy years until after about 10 years he passed away,
of course leaving her a very wealthy widow.

Still being youg after her husband had been dead a few years
she met an actor they married and she saw many broadway shows,
many of which he was the star, they traveled but after they’d
been married about 10 years he too passed away. This was 2
husbands she had to bury.

Still being a young woman of about 40, she began going to
church. She met their new pastor they fell in love and married,
unfortunatly after a few years he to passed away. Well this
is her 3rd husband she’d had to bury.

Again still being a desirable woman she met a wonderful man,
he was a mortician. After they’d been married about 5 years,
she took ill and she passed away.

Some people say…that she married 1 for the money, 2 for the
show 3 to get ready and 4 to GO…

A KITTY FROM HEAVEN….


h1 Thursday, July 14th, 2005

–AN AMAZING CAT STORY:

A man recently told a story about the pastor of his church:

He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and
then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered
warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was
not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he
tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent
down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.

He did all this, checking his progress in the car frequently,
then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree
would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But
as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke. The
tree went “boing!” and the kitten instantly sailed through
the air and out of sight!

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood
asking people if they’d seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had
seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, “Lord, I just commit this
kitten to your keeping,” and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of
his church members. He happened to look into her shopping
cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a
cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you
buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”

She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her
little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept
refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again,
so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well if God gives
you a cat, I’ll let you keep it.”

She told the pastor, “I watched my child go out in the yard,
get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor,
you won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A
kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its
paws outspread, and landed right in front of her.”

Never underestimate the Power of God!

Silent and listen are spelled
with the same letters.

DEAD TWINS….


h1 Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

Twin brothers were born. As they grew up, one took the path of least
resistance, and did not live a very good life. He drank, gambled,
cheated on his wife, stole, embezzled-you name it. Of course, because
of his lifestyle, he did not live to be very old.

Years and years later, the other twin-who had lead an exemplary-died
with his loved ones by his side at the ripe old age of 89.

So when he got to heaven, St. Peter asked him if he had any requests.
He said to St. Peter, “Look, I know my twin brother didn’t lead a
good life, but he was my brother, and if it’s okay with you, I’d
really like to take one last look at him.”

“Certainly, my son,” St. Peter said as he parted the clouds to peer
down into the underworld. The man saw the most extraordinary thing!
His brother was on a deserted island in a lake of fire, with a
beautiful blonde on one hand and a bottle of 100-year-old whiskey in
the other!

“I don’t get it,” the man said, “what kind of punishment is that?”

“Ah,” said St. Peter, “don’t be deceived by looks, my son. All is not
what it appears to be. You see, the bottle of whiskey has a hole in
it, and the girl . . . “

FAIRY TALES….


h1 Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

My friend likes to read his two young sons fairy tales at night. Having
a deep-rooted sense of humor, he often ad-libs parts of the stories
for fun.

One day his youngest son was sitting in his first grade class as the
teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. She came to
the part of the story where the first pig was trying to acquire building
materials for his home. She said “…And so the pig went up
to the man with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said, “Pardon me sir,
but might I have some of that straw to build my house?”

Then the teacher asked the class “And what do you think that man
said?” and my friend’s son raised his hand and said “I know! I know!
He said, ‘Holy Cow!! A talking pig!’”

The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

LESSONS ON LIFE….

The Obstacle in Our Path — In ancient times, a king had a boulder
placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest
merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many
loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear. But none
did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant
came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the
boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining,
he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of
vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder
had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the
king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the
boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never
understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our
condition.
