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.

Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are some priceless quotes:…
..
*I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly, “How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?” I turned around and walked back out and never went back. My husband didn’t say a word. He knew better*.
*********
*I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women’s type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good- looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, “I think I like playing with men’s balls.”*
**********
*My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, “No, I’m just looking at your nuts.” My sister started to laugh

Reason 1
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”
The teacher asked, ” What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied, “Then you ask him”.
Reason 2
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.”
The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.”
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”
