Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die

You and I

“DON’T  QUIT”

.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will

 

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

 

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

 

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

 

When care is pressing you down a bit,

 

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

 

(~)~(~)~(~)

 

Life is odd with its twists and turns,

 

As everyone of us sometimes learns

 

And many a failure turns about,

 

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

 

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,

 

You may succeed with another blow.

 

(~)~(~)~(~)

 

Success is failure turned inside out,

God’s Rosebud
==============
.

A new minister
was walking with an older,
more seasoned minister
in the garden one day.

.. 
Feeling a bit insecure
about what God
had for him to do,
he was asking the older preacher
for some advice.

.. 
The older preacher
walked up to a rosebush
and handed the young preacher
a rosebud and told him
to open it
without tearing off any petals.

.. 
The young preacher
looked in disbelief
at the older preacher
and was trying to figure out
what a rosebud
could possibly have to do
with his wanting to know
the will of God
for his life and ministry.

.. 
But because of his great respect
for the older preacher,
he proceeded to try to unfold the rose,
while keeping every petal intact.

.. 
It wasn’t long
before he realized
how impossible
this was to do.

.. 
Noticing the younger preacher’s
inability to unfold the rosebud
without tearing it,
the older preacher began
to recite the following poem…

.

A blonde, A brunette, and a red-head all died in a car crash, and they all went to heaven at the same time.

.

They arrive at the gates of heaven, when God appears and tells them they must pass a laughter test, if they fail, they will be sent to hell.

.

The objective was to climb 100 stairs without laughing. Each stair will have it’s own joke.

.

The Brunette goes first, and laughs at the 46th stair.

Mary was almost crazy with her three young kids. She
complained to her best friend Judy, “They’re driving me
nuts! They give me no rest! I’m half way to the funny farm!”


“What you need,” said Judy, “is a playpen.”


So Mary bought a playpen. A few days later, Judy called to
ask how things were going.

Can You Say, “Awe”?‏

John in Venice with pigeons St. Mark's square by moonjazz.

Albert Einstein said that wonder is the source of all true art and all
science. “He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer
pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes
are closed.”
I remember standing in rapt awe when I gazed upon the wonders of the
ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru. That amazing city was
built above the clouds, and it was more than the high altitude that
took my breath away. Can you say, “Awe”?
I’m reminded of the little girl who rode a train with her mother. Read More
