LONGFELLOW'S Rx
FOR A LONG, HAPPY LIFE..........

The famous poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was once asked how he manged a long and a happy life. Pointing to an apple tree, the writer remarked, "The secret of the apple tree is that it grows a little new wood each year. That's what I try to do."
No matter what age you are, it is important to continue to grow spiritually each day, each month, each year.
such a spiritual growth requires constant Bible study.
Why not start growing a little "new wood" now, by reading at least once chapter from the Bible each day?
You will be blessed for it.

Most people are bothered by these passages of
scripture they o not understand.
But the passages that bother me are those I do understand.

JUST FOR FUN..... LIFE IN THE 1500'S

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying. "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

WHAT WE LEARN FROM CHILDREN
Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good God is great Thank you for the food , and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all ! Amen!"

Along with the laughter from other customers nearby I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!"

Hearing this my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, and elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said," I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

"Really?" my son asked.

"Cross my heart," the man replied. Then in a theatrical whisper he added [indicating the woman], "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the women. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already."

If evolution is true, why do mothers still have only two hands ?


The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but the
fly comes close: Mark Twain

Trouble knocked at the door but, hearing laughter, hurried away.
Ben Franklin

Because a mutation for a third hand never happened, which would have to occur for it be selected by the environment as being a favorable trait. and thus be present in todays human beings.

Sorry if my post is off topic.

Oh you liar! You are NOT sorry. You're no better than the "fundies" who go traipsing into the Pagan Circle in order to do some pagan bashing. You couldn't resist the chance to be contentious even in a "humor" thread. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

It's OK Grams, you just pay no mind to that whipper snapper evolutionista.

Oh Ray ! I was pretty scared for a while,
Glad I have your approval! What a relief that is !!!

There's a wonderful place called heaven
where joy will never cease:
No words can describe its glory
and its never ending peace;
There the redeemed of the Lord are going
saved by God's abounding grace,
By faith in Christ the Savior
Who died for the human race.


J.C.O'Hair

Are you really going to heaven,
Or do you doubt and hope and guess ?
If your trust is in Christ Jesus,
Your answer should be 'yes'
God's Son came down fro heaven and
He took the sinner's place;
By faith in Christ the Savior, we're
Forever saved by grace.
