Good morning all. I apologize for being AWOL this weekend but I have been in a blackout as Maison De Lovely Legs. The power went off on Saturday and as of this morning it is still off.
The new estimate is that my power should be back on in 6 hours.
On a happy note, George W will be in my area on July 18. Whoo hoo!!
Subject: The Promise
There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his
money and was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more
than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife,
"Now listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the
casket with me. Because I wanna take my money to the afterlife with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he
died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.
Well one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was
sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they
finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the
casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!'
She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the
casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it
away.
So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that
money in there with that man. "
She said, "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was
gonna put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with the man?"
" I sure did," said the wife. "'I wrote him a check."
