Thanks for the ping, Amy. Hope you've had a great week!

[Alberta's Child]

Well, being smart maybe one day in a while would be nice!

[JustAmy]

I've had a lazy week. Kinda nice.

I hope you get a slow week soon. Have a relaxing evening.

[Alberta's Child]

Thanks -- next week might be a bit slow for me, if everything works out OK!

[Alberta's Child]

Gotta get to bed, folks. Hope y'all have a great day tomorrow!

Pleasant dreams.

See you tomorrow.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to stop back in and say goodnight. Tomorrow I'm travelling back to my parents' house. So I have everything packed (except for the computer), and Winston is in his car seat. So now I have to pack the computer. Have a good night!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT ON VIOLIN DAY



What's the difference between a violin and a viola?

There is no difference. The violin just looks smaller because the

violinist's head is so much bigger.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Q: How do you keep your violin from being stolen?

A: Put it in a viola case.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Q: What do a viola and a lawsuit have in common?

A: Everyone is relieved when the case is closed.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

A fiddle is fun to listen to.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Why are viola jokes so short?

So violinists can understand them.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

How do you tell the difference between a violinist and a dog?

The dog knows when to stop scratching.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

How many second violinists does it take to change a light bulb?

None. They can't get up that high!

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

String players' motto: "It's better to be sharp than out of tune."

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Why is a violinist like a SCUD missile?

Both are offensive and inaccurate.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

What's the difference between a fiddle and a violin?

No-one minds if you spill beer on a fiddle.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Why do violinists put a cloth between their chin and their instrument?

Violins don't have spit valves.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Why should you never try to drive a roof nail with a violin?

You might bend the nail.

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Jacques Thibault, the violinist, was once handed an autograph book by a fan

while in the greenroom after a concert. "There's not much room on this

page," he said. "What shall I write?"


Another violinist, standing by, offered the following helpful hint: "Write

your repertoire."

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

"Haven't I seen your face before?" a judge demanded, looking down at the

defendant.

"You have, Your Honor," the man answered hopefully. "I gave your son violin

lessons last winter."

"Ah, yes," recalled the judge. "Twenty years!"

Working Wisely

Read:
John 9:1-11

I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. —John 9:4

Bible In One Year: Song of Songs 5-8

In a photo on my wall, a rusted rake leans against a post in a vegetable garden overgrown with weeds. I took the picture several months after my father-in-law died and there was no one to care for his usually well-tended garden. One afternoon, he had leaned his rake against a post, walked to the house, and never returned.

The photo says two things to me about work: First, I must do it while I can. Second, I must keep it in perspective and not make it more important than it is. Because my days are numbered, I need God's wisdom to spend each one as I should.

When Jesus healed a man born blind, He told His disciples, "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" (John 9:4-5).

As Jesus labored in His Father's "garden" on earth, He demonstrated how to work wisely by having a balance between work and rest. He never valued productivity more than prayer, and He never became so preoccupied with a program that He failed to help people in need.

Lord, give us the wisdom to work faithfully while it is still day. —David McCasland

Lord, help me know from day to day
The good I should pursue;
And grant me wisdom to discern
The things I should not do. —D. De Haan

Work is a blessing when it blesses others.

Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

[DollyCali]
