Here's another interesting saying:

“If you wish to know God, you must know His Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by His Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.” (Charles Spurgeon)

Here's another interesting saying:


Common Sense has died


Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been
with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth
records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing
when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't
always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than
you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing
regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual
harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using
mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student,
only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that
they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It
declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to
administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform
parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband;
churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their
victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar
in your own home because the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize
that a steaming cup of fresh-brewed coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and
was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense welcomed Deaths embrace when a group of spoiled college drop-outs, easily swayed by a Canadian advertising agency bent on destroying capitalism, gathered to illegally take over a park blocks away from Wall Street to protest absolutely nothing while claiming they had a reason to be there.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife,
Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To
Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized
he was gone.

Here's another interesting saying:

Prayer request...

There's a lady I've known for years...She's become very sick. On top of that, she's being abused by those to whom she has given everything..... Lies about her abound, and seem to come from all sides. Just breaks my heart. Seems there's nothing I can do alone but if we join in and lift her up together in prayer, we can heal her. She's well over 230 years old, but way too young to die.

Her name is 'America'... And I love her and have always been proud of her.

Take time to say a prayer for her - even if it is a short, simple prayer like, Lord, please heal our land. Amen.. Thanks.

Here's another interesting saying:

Shake it Off

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

The attitude of a Christian towards the fortunate order in which he is placed is to recognize that God is behind it for purposes of His own.

God won't cure laziness; we have to cure it. The discipline of our mind is the one domain God has put in our keeping.

That was good but the last part I may disagree with...One thing that fights hard to win itself notice back in the minds of men by induction of another spirit is Common Sense - Human Reasoning - or Soulish discernment; the Flesh. It is always noticed when someone claims its death, despite the persons resolute finality in the decision. For it fights like a spoiled child who's been scolded and wants its power back acting like flaming arrows one day, and quiet pretentious humble suggestions the next.

Yet to a real Christian; despite noticing its temper tantrum he will simply place it in its play pen and shove a binky in its mouth, and calmly say,
"Shoosh! Go back to sleep, Junior subordinate imp, I'll wake you up never!"

Why it's the information age and they put this stuff on the internet!

A few years back I started collecting jokes and along with it I kept a few sayings like these.

It's cool having a computer to save stuff on... it's like having a gigantic memory!

You just gotta come up with an organized filing system so you can find stuff



A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something.
That's pretty good... and true!

Wisdom my Mother taught me. :D


To appreciate a job well done - "if you're going to kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning!"

Religion - "you better pray that will come out of the carpet."

About time travel - "if you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

Logic - "Because I said so, that's why."

Foresight - "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

Irony - "Keep laughing and I'll *give* you something to cry about."

About the science of osmosis - "shut your mouth and eat your supper!"

About contortionism - "Will you *look* at the dirt on the back of your neck!"

About stamina - "You'll sit there til all that spinach is finished."

About weather - "It looks as if a tornado swept through your room."

How to solve physics problems - "If I yelled because I saw a meteor coming toward you; would you listen then?"

About hypocrisy - "If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - don't exaggerate!!!"

The circle of life - "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

About behavior modification - "Stop acting like your father!"

About envy - "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do!"

Gee Thanks, mom

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. :D

No one is listening to you until you make a mistake.

Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve.......... as a warning to others..

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities....... without your help..

If you think nobody cares if you're alive......... try missing a couple of car payments..

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes...... That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes..

If at first you don't succeed........ skydiving was not for you..

Salvation:::

Salvation is so simple we can overlook it.
So profound we can never comprehend it.
So priceless we could never buy it.
Yet free to all who will believe and receive it.
