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

Love Island
============
.
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings
lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others,
including love.
.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
.
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve
the island paradise until the last possible moment.
.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was
time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked,
“Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?”
Richness answered, ” I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and
gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”
.
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a
beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.”
“I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will
damage my beautiful boat.”
.
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please
let me go with you.” Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I
just need to be alone now.”
.
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, ” Happiness, please
take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he
didn’t hear Love calling to him.
.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love,
I will take you with me.” It was an elder.
.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the

At one time, Bangkok television aired the American situation comedy
LaVerne and Shirley. For whatever reason, officials there believed
that a disclaimer was necessary for the Thailand audience, so this
subtitle was added to each show: “The two women depicted in the
following episode are from an insane asylum.”
.
Personally, I’m thankful there is a little silliness in the world.
And I don’t mind not acting like everybody else. Like the
“irrepressible” educator and speaker Leo Buscaglia once said: “I don’t
mind if people think I’m crazy. In fact, I think it’s great! It
gives me tremendous latitude for behavior.”
.
Buscaglia knew how to laugh. And I think knowing how to laugh and
have fun is an important part of living.
.
Someone asked me what I do for fun. I felt I should answer with
something others enjoy, like golf or skiing. But my idea of fun is
not usually associated with entertainment and recreation. It is more
about squeezing as much enjoyment into every day as I can. Instead
of looking for something fun to do, I try to make whatever I do a
little more fun. And if I can’t always do things I enjoy, I can
learn to enjoy more of the things I do.
.
I like the word “enjoyment” because it has “joy” inside of it. So
does the word “rejoice.” And rejoicing is a way to find enjoyment of
life.
.
Speaking of Leo Buscaglia, he used to tell a story about his mother
and their “misery dinner.” It was the night after his father came
home and said it looked as if he would have to go into bankruptcy
because his partner had absconded with their firm’s funds. His
mother’s response was to sell some of her jewelry to buy food enough
for a grand feast. At first, other members of the family scolded her
for it. But she told them that “the time for joy is now, when we

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week - a time to honor teachers who have made a difference in the world.
..
Here’s a special message we would like to share with you from Simple Truths founder, Mac Anderson:
..
I grew up in Trenton, Tennessee, a small town of 5,000 people. I have wonderful memories of those first 18 years and the teachers who helped shape the person I am today.
..
Fred Culp was my history teacher in high school. To this day, he is still the funniest person I’ve ever met. In addition to loving his history class, he taught me that a sense of humor, especially laughing at yourself, can be one of life’s greatest blessings.

If you’re a teacher, or if, like me, your life was greatly influenced by a teacher, you’re going to love this movie! The beautiful poem,
