Age 24 I've learned that brushing my child's hair is one of life's great pleasures. Age 26 I've learned that wherever I go, the world's worst drivers have followed me there. Age 29 I've learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

One Day At A Time

One Day At A Time

Have an appointment with yourself - (Chapter from Mr. Debashis Chatterjee's book)

A mosquito saw an elephant crossing a bridge and asked for a ride. The mosquito said "Hello mate! What if I sit on your back and give you some company as you cross the bridge?.

"The elephant said nothing. The mosquito sat on the elephant's back. He fel very proud that he could persuade the elephant to be a co-rider. As they were crossing the bridge, the mosquito cried out, "Watch out brother, two of us are very heavy, make sure the bridge does not collapse!". The elephant said nothing.

As they crossed over through the bridge, the mosquito said, "See, how I guided you safely through!". The elephant said nothing.

Finally the mosquito got off the elephant's back and buzzed, "Here is my business card. If you need any help in the future just call me on my cell phone." The elephant thought that he heard some whisper somewhere. But he dismissed this as a day dream and marched on....

The Elephant is the enormous flow of our life. The mosquito is our restless ego that thrives by sucking life's attention. The more the elephant ignores the mosquito the more the ego vanishes. //

Converting The Bear

A Catholic priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as
chaplains to the students of Texas A&M, at College Station.

They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to
talk shop.

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't
really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment.
They'd all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they were all together again discussing their
experiences.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches and has
various bandages, went first. "Well," he said, "I went into the woods
to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the
catechism. Now that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to
slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy
Mary, Mother of God! he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming
out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and
both legs in casts. In his best fire-and-brimstone style he told his
story. "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out
and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from GOD'S HOLY
WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with ME. So I took HOLD of
him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and
DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED
his hairy soul. And just like you said, Father, he became as gentle as a
lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed.
He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and
out of him. He was in very bad shape.

The Rabbi looked up at them and said, "Looking back on it,
circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, and to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband.
What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product.
Well, gotta go, have to write to the Hefty bag people. lmao

Your Cross

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

there will always be sunshine,

after the rain ....

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,

But God's always ready,

To answer your call ...

He knows every heartache,

sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

can calm every fear ...

Your sorrows may linger,

throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

in dawn's early light ...

The Savior is waiting,

somewhere above,

To give you His grace,

and send you His love...

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

"God always sends rainbows ....

after the rain ... "

To get out of difficulty, one must usually go through it !

Never take someone for granted, hold every person to your heart , because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.......................................

There’s A Hole In My Sidewalk

There’s A Hole In My Sidewalk

By: Portia Nelson



AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS



CHAPTER ONE

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost….I am helpless.

It isn’t my fault.

It takes forever to find my way out.



CHAPTER TWO

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don’t see it.

I fall in again.

I can’t believe I am in this same place.

But, it isn’t my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.



CHAPTER THREE

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it there.

I still fall in…it’s a habit…but,

My eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.



CHAPTER FOUR

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.



CHAPTER FIVE

I walk down another street.

Iraq Interrpreters anguished life

I just lack understand why interpreter working for us in Iraq and Afghan cannot get special conditions for a Visa. I am use there is little doubt that there life is threated. I am sure there may be concern they may be part of the insurgents and come to the US for information and maybe create terrorist acts here. However, surely there should be a way to help them.

An Iraqi Interpreter’s Story

Will the U.S. Help Iraqi Interpreter Seeking Asylum?

Two Wolves

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them...

“A fight is going on inside me... it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you and every other person, too.”

They thought about this for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather... “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied... “The one you feed.”
