Prayer
DATE: 08/25/2007 19:36:04 / MOOD: other
It seems prayer still upsets some people. Please
read.... When Minister Joe Wright was asked to
open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was
expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they
heard; "Heavenly
Father, We come
before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek
your direction and
guidance. We know
your word says, "Woe to those who call evil good" but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our
spiritual equilibrium and reversed our
values. We have
exploited the poor and called it the
lottery. &nb sp; We have
rewarded laziness and called it
welfare. We have
killed our unborn and called it
choice. We have
shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We
have neglected to discipline our children and called
it building self
esteem. We have
abused power and called it
politics. We have
coveted our neighbor's possessions and called
itambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and
called it freedom of speech and
expression. We
have ridiculed the time honored values of our forefathers
and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts
today; Cleanse us from every sin
and set us free.
Amen!" The
response was immediate. A number of legislators walked
out during the prayer in
protest. In 6
short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright
is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47
of those calls responding negatively. The church is now
receiving international requests for copies of this prayer
from India, Africa and
Korea. Commentator
Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The
Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program
than any other he has ever
aired. With the
Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our Nation
and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again
can be called "one nation under
God."
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends "If
you don't stand for something, you will fall for
anything." Think
about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on
your email list, in less than 30
days it would be heard by the
world. How many people in your
address book will not receive this
prayer.....do you have the guts to pass it
on? I just
did!

funny joke
DATE: 08/22/2007 23:09:18 / MOOD: other
A new priest at his first mokay was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mokay he asked the Monsignor how he had done. The
Monsignor replied, 'When I am worried about getting nervous On the
pulpit, I put a glokay of vodka next to the water glokay. If I start to
get nervous, I take a sip.' So next
Sunday he took the Monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon,
he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office after the mokay, he found the following note on the door: 1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp. 2) There are 10 commandments, not 12. 3) There are 12 disciples, not 10. 4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipate d. 5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet
his a**. 6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C. 7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook. 8) David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him. 9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his a**. 10) We do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.' 11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, 'take this and eat it for it is my body.' He did not say ' Eat me' 12) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God. 13) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
DATE: 08/22/2007 17:28:30 / MOOD: happy
ATHEIST IN THE WOODS An atheist was walking through the woods. "What majestic trees"! "What powerful rivers"! "What beautiful animals"! He said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!" Time Stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident." "Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer"? The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps You could make the BEAR a Christian"? "Very Well," said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."

A wonderful message by George Carlin
DATE: 07/20/2007 13:34:22 / MOOD: spirit filled
What
a difference a sad event in someone's
life makes GEORGE
CARLIN (His wife
recently
died...)
Isn't
it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could
write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.A
wonderful Message by George Carlin:The paradox of our time in
history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider
Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy
more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more
knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more
medicine, but less wellness.We drink too much, smoke too much,
spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry,
stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much ,
and pray too seldom.
We
have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much,
love too seldom, and hate too often.We've learned how to make a
living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the
street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner
space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've
cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but
not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait We build more
computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but
we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and
slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier
houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable
diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and
pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when
there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time
when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can
choose either to share this insight, or to just hit
delete...
Remember;
spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be
around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up
to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because
that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost
a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your
loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt
when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and
cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there
again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to
share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS
REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away If you don't send this
to at least 8 people....Who cares? George

Making Pancakes
DATE: 07/18/2007 11:43:45 / MOOD: other
< div style="margin-title: 7.5pt;">
Six year old Brandon decided one
Saturday morning to fix his parents pancakes He found a big bowl and
spoon, pulled a chair to the counter, opened the cupboard and pulled
out the heavy flour canister, spilling it on the floor. He
scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most
of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the
floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten. Brandon
was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted this to be
something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. He
didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on
the stove and he didn't know how the stove worked!. Suddenly he saw his
kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away,
knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean up
this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas white
and y. And
just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled
up in Brandon 's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but
he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe
even a spanking. But his father just watched him. Then,
walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and
loved him, getting his own pajamas white and y in the process! That's
how God deals with us.. We try to do something good in life, but it
turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all y or we insult a friend,
or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour. Sometimes
we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything else to
do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even
though some of our mess gets all over Him. But
just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes"
for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then
they'll be glad we tried... I
was thinking and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed,
friendships that need rekindling or three words needing to be said,
sometimes, "I love you" can heal & bless! Remind every one of your
friends that you love them. Even if you think they don't love back, you
would be amazed at what those three little words, a smile, and a
reminder like this can do. Just in case I haven't told you lately... I LOVE YA!!! suppose one morning you were called to God; do all your friends know you love them? Send this to everyone you love, and send it back to the person who sent it to you.. And never stop "making pancakes."
