Life Without Black People
.
A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people.
.
At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief.
.
‘At last’, they said, ‘no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare.’
. All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The ‘NEW AMERICA’ is not America at all - only a barren land. Read More

A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a
Genie’s lamp.
..
She picked it up, rubbed it & a Genie appeared. The amazed woman
asked if she was entitled to three wishes.
..
The Genie said “No. Due to inflation, constant downsizing, low
wages in third world countries & fierce global competition, I can
only grant you one wish. So what’ll it be?”
..
The woman didn’t hesitate. She said “I want peace in the Middle
East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with
each other.”
..
The Genie looked at the map & exclaimed “Gadzooks, lady! These
countries have been at war for thousands of years. I’m good, but
not THAT good! I don’t think it can be done. Make another wish.”
..
The woman thought for a minute and said, “Well, I’ve never been

“A Parent’s Note to a Teacher”
by Anonymous..I’m the voice of a grateful parent
whose child was in your class…
the one who needed help to find his way
You’ve been a special blessing
as you helped my child succeed
and I’m thankful for the part you had to play
You gave him so much more
than just the lessons in the books
you gave him wings…so he could learn to fly
You ignited a flame within his soul
a passion to learn and grow…
to never give up and always be willing to try
Your encouragement inspired him
and your kindness was so real
but the thing that thrills my heart the most is this…

John 3:16
A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner,
the people were in and out of the cold.
..
The little boy was so cold that he wasn’t trying to sell
many papers.
..
He walked up to a policeman and said,
‘Mister, you wouldn’t happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you ?
..
You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it’s awful cold in there for tonight. Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay.’The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, ‘You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door.
..
When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in.’

Once there was a father and son who were very close and enjoyed adding valuable art pieces to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many others adorned the walls of the family estate.
..
The widowed, elder man looked on with satisfaction as his only child became an experienced art collector. The son’s trained eye and sharp business mind caused his father to beam with pride as they dealt with art collectors around the world.
