The Good Stuff for 26 May, 2005

The Word
"He [the righteous man] is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away."--Psalm 1:3-4

The Founder
"Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected." --George Washington

The Joke
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and -- standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories -- causing the manager to come out of his office to ask them to leave.
“But, why?” they ask.
“Because, I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
