| GOOD SAMARITAN..
A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the
Good Samaritan.
She asked the class, “If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all
wounded and
bleeding, what would you do?”
A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence, “I think I’d throw
up.”
..
DID NOAH FISH?
..
A Sunday school teacher asked, “Johnny, do you think Noah did a
lot of fishing when
he was on the Ark ?” “No,” replied Johnny.
“How could he, with just two worms.”
..
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
..
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most
quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23 .
She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.
Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn’t remember the Psalm.
After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.
On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation,
Ricky was so nervous.
When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly,
“The Lord is my Shepherd, and that’s all I need to know.”
..
UNANSWERED PRAYER
..
The preacher’s 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always
paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon.
One day, she asked him why. “Well, Honey,” he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. “I’m asking the Lord to help me preach a
good sermon.”
“How come He doesn’t answer it?” she asked.
..
BEING THANKFUL
..
A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, “So your mother
says your prayers for you each night?
That’s very commendable.
What does she say?”
The little boy replied, “Thank God he’s in bed!”
..
ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS
..
When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless every family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).
For several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli
would say, “and all girls.”
This soon became part of her nightly routine, to include this closing.
My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, “Kelli, why do you always add the part about all girls?”
Her response, “Because everybody always finish their prayers by saying ‘All Men’!”
..
SAY A PRAYER
..
Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his
Grandmother’s house.
Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.
When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
“Johnny!

.
A local priest and pastor were fishing on the side of the road.
.
They thoughtfully made a sign saying, “The End is Near!
.
Turn yourself around now before it’s too late!” and showed it to each passing car.
.
One driver that drove by didn’t appreciate the sign and shouted at them:
. “Leave us alone, you religious nuts!” .
All of a sudden they heard a big SPLASH! The priest and the pastor Read More

Writer Gary Jennings said this: “Love and time, those are the only
two things in all the world and all of life, that cannot be bought,
but only spent.”
.
I love that. And HOW I spend my love and time is what it is all
about.
.
My work and interests require me to spend probably an inordinate
amount of time in front of my computer. At least according to my
wife Bev.
.
She and I were talking one day about death and funerals and what to
do with each other’s remains. I asked. “What will you do with my
body? Burial? Cremation?”
.
She answered, “I think I’ll just have you stuffed and propped up in
your chair by the computer. That way when I walk through the room I
won’t even notice that you’re gone.”
.
I got the point - too much computer time. And how I spend my time
and my love is all important.
. The question I ask myself is this: “Do I generously and freely give
love and time away - and especially to those closest to me?”

Charles Francis Adams was the United States ambassador to Great
Britain during the Lincoln administration. He had the habit of
keeping a daily diary. He also taught his son Brooks the value of
journaling his activities in a diary.
. One memorable day, eight-year-old Brooks recorded, “Went fishing
with my father, the most glorious day of my life.” It must have been
a glorious day, for the next forty years Brooks repeatedly mentioned
it in his diary. It became a life-long memory.
.
His father also wrote about the fishing trip. His own diary on that Read More

Seven guys were at deer camp. Three had to bunk two to a room.
.
No one wanted to room with Steve because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.
.
The first night, John slept in Steve’s room and came to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. The rest of the guys said, “Man, what happened to you?”
.
He said, “Steve snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.”
.
The next night it was Garry’s turn. In the morning, same thing–hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. Once again they asked, “Man, what happened to you? You look awful!”
.
He said, “Man, that Steve shakes the roof. I couldn’t sleep a wink. I just watched him all night.”
.
The third night was Herb’s turn. Herb was a big burly guy who loved to fish and hunt — a man’s man.

Today’s Message:
“The Boy and the Fish Sandwich”
By Bob Perks
.
I don’t preach. I believe, but I can’t conveniently quote the
Bible when those words would come in handy. I can say
something and mention that I believe it’s ” in there somewhere.”
I even know where to look.
.
It doesn’t make me less Christian, just lazy.
.
Still, God uses me just the way I am. I understand that’s
how the Apostles got their jobs working for Him, too. He
took them “just the way they were.” So, there is hope
for you and I!
.
Every so often I come across something that really strikes
me as incredibly significant. Something that I must share.
So, I struggle to inspire others with hopes that they, too,
will be overwhelmed by it.
.
I have learned that no one is EVER as enthusiastic about
my ideas as I am. I saw a movie once that inspired me so
much that when I got out of my car I was literally jumping
in the air. Someone who saw me thought I won the lottery.
When I explained the movie to them they laughed at me.
I suddenly lost my enthusiasm.
.
But this is significant.
.
You may have heard about Jesus and the loaves and fish.
Great miracle! Terrific story.
