Darling puppy, Kitty! Sweet Dreams to you, too!

An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her chair. He spoke softly to her, "Honey, can you hear me?" There was no response.

He moved a little closer and said again, "Honey, can you hear me?" Still, there was no response. Finally, he moved right behind her and said, "Honey, can you hear me?"

She replied, "for the third time, yes!"

My dad was a Sailor - and would tear up, every time he heard the Navy Hymn.

One day, a mailman was greeted by a boy and his dog.

The mailman said to the boy, "Does your dog bite?"

"No," replied the boy.

Just then, the dog bit the mailman.

"Hey, "he yelled. "I thought your dog doesn't bite!"

"He doesn't," replied the boy, "but that's not my dog."

There was a duck that went to a local store to buy chapstick,
the clerk asked if he would pay cash and the duck said,

no, just put it on my bill.

"How many people work in your office?" the boss asked the department head.

"Oh, about half of them, sir!" .

Hope every one had a great Sunday. We went to church then came home, my pain level was out the roof, I spent most of the day on the couch asleep after taking a 5 mg loretab and one of those anti-puke pills (can never remember it’s name).

[oldteen]

All great ones, Dubya!

An Attached Fuel Hose
April 4, 2011

Felipe Massa of Brazil should have won the Formula One Grand Prix in Singapore in September 2008. But as he drove off from a refueling stop while in the lead, the fuel hose was still attached. By the time his team removed the hose, he had lost so much time that he finished 13th.

The apostle Paul warned Timothy of another kind of attachment that would cause him defeat—“the affairs of this life” (2 Tim. 2:4). He urged Timothy not to let anything slow him down or distract him from the cause of his Lord and Master.

There are many attractive things in our world that are so easy to get entangled with—hobbies, sports, TV, computer games. These may start off as “refueling” activities, but later they can take up so much of our time and thought that they interfere with the purpose for which God created us: to share the good news of Christ, serve Him with our gifts, and bring glory to Him.

Paul told Timothy why he ought not be entangled with this world’s affairs: So that he could “please Him” (v.4). If your desire is to please the Lord Jesus, you will want to stay untangled from the world. As John reminds us, “The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17).

Although we live in this world,
we must declare our allegiance to heaven.

Read: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life. —2 Timothy 2:4

Bible in a year:
Ruth 1-4; Luke 8:1-25

Good morning, Conor!

I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way!

I sure hope so! :)

Are you feeling any better today?

[ConorMacNessa]

Feeling somewhat better - made a Dr. app't for Wednesday.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Good...perhaps there is some further relief available. These bugs are really hitting people hard and lasting, what seems, forever!
