The Good Stuff for 24 June, 2005

The Word
"My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. "--Proverbs 3:11-12

The Founder
"For Heaven's sake discard the monstrous wig which makes the English judges look like rats peeping through bunches of oakum." --Thomas Jefferson on potential designs for official apparel in the new federal government.

The Joke
Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. But when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
