Why they ask, do not those miracles, which you preach of as past events, happen nowadays?
I might reply that they were necessary before the world believed, to bring the world to
believe.
~ St. Augustine, The City of God ~
Miracles are the swaddling clothes of infant churches.
~ Thomas Fullers ~
Miracles are God's signature, appended to His masterpiece of creation; not because they
ought to be needed, but because they are needed.
~ Ronald A. Knox ~
If there were no false miracles, there would be certainty.
~ Blaise Pascal ~
The church speaks of miracles because it speaks of God. Of eternity in time, of life in
death, of love in hate, of forgiveness in sin, or salvation in suffering, of hope in
despair.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer, No Rusty Swords ~
jin·go noun. 1. One who vociferously supports one's country,
especially one who supports a belligerent foreign policy; a chauvinistic patriot.
--jin·go adj. 1. Of or relating to a chauvinistic patriot. 2. Characterized by
chauvinistic patriotism. --jin·go interj. Used for emphasis or to express surprise: By
jingo, I'm leaving here in spite of the blizzard. [From the phrase by jingo, used in the
refrain of a bellicose 19th-century English music-hall song, from alteration of Jesus.]
The reader may, if he likes, put down the next stage to that bellicose and even jingo literature which commonly comes next in the history
of a boy. We all owe much sound morality to the penny dreadfuls. Whatever the reason, it
seemed and still seems to me that our attitude towards life can be better expressed in
terms of a kind of military loyalty than in terms of criticism and approval.
Orthodoxy
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
After the dance had continued about an hour, the two ladies, who were apprehensive of
catching cold, moved to break up the ball. One of them, I thought, expressed her
sentiments upon this occasion in a very coarse manner, when she observed, that by the
living jingo, she was all of a muck of
sweat.

A FEW SMILES
Billy-bob, a Calgary trucker, takes off for a quick holiday in
florida before driving back to Regina for the Gray Cup. He's about to jump in the surf,
but, hey, he's in Florida, so he figures he'd better check out the alligator situation. From: "David A. Rinke II" funny-pages@plato.ens.gu.edu.au from:Kasha Linka KashaL@concentric.net A long time ago, in the city of Munich, the inhabitants were having
a big problem. There was a massive increase in the number of dogs residing in the city.
Not only were thousands of dogs, but they were BIG dogs.... real hounds to be exact.
Anyway, the people of Munich bunched together and decided they would solve the problem by
driving all the dogs out of the city and into the hills. So one day, they all grouped
together and forced all the hounds out of the city and into the hills, thereby solving
their problem. From: "Funny Pages Mailing List" funny-pages@plato.ens.gu.edu.au One day many years ago, a fisherman's wife blessed her husband with
twin sons. They loved the children very much, but couldn't think of what to name
them. Finally, after several days, the fisherman said, "Let's not decide on
names right now. If we wait a little while, the names will simply occur to us." from:Kasha Linka KashaL@concentric.net
Did you hear about the seminarian who argued that
Noah had the best hearing in the Bible? While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college

Johnny says, "WOW! I can see why they threw him out" TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day. |
