ALL THE REST —  November 11 & 12
  

 

Today's Quotations –  FEAR :

 


Fear is tax that conscience pays to guilt. 

George Sewell (D. 1726) 




Fear is the sand in the machinery of life. 

E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) 




Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. No one was there. 




Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is. 

German Proverb 




Fear of God can deliver us from the fear of man. 

John Witherspoon (1723-1794) 




Fear. His modus operandi is to manipulate you with the mysterious, to taunt you with the unknown. Fear of death, fear of failure, fear of God, fear of tomorrow-his arsenal is vast. His goal? To create cowardly, joyless souls. He doesn't want you to make the journey to the mountain. He figures if he can rattle you enough, you will take your eyes off the peaks and settle for a dull existence in the flatlands. 

Max L. Lucado (1955- )

Today's SMILE

 

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)

 

 

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."

Joseph Addison

Profession:

An elderly couple had a son, who was still living with them. The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide about his future career. They decided to do a small test. They took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey, and put them on the front hall table, and hid, pretending they're not home. The father's plan was: "If out son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he takes the bible, he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."

So, the parents waited nervously, hiding in the nearby closet. Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive. The son saw the note they had left. Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket. After that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took it. Then, he grabbed the bottle, opened it and took a whiff, to get assured of the quality. Then he left for his room, carrying all the three items. The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn! Our son is going to be a politician!"

Gag-O-Mactic Joke Server 2.0  


One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in the classroom. 

The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. 

The teacher asked a little boy: 
Teacher: Tommy do you see the tree out side? 
Tommy: Yes. 
Teacher: Tommy, do you see the grass out side? 
Tommy: Yes. 
Teacher: Go out side and look up and see if you can see the sky. 
Tommy: OK. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky. 
Teacher: Did you see God? 
Tommy: No. 
Teacher: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. 

The little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. Teacher agreed and she asked the boy: 
Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the tree outside? 
Tommy: Yes. 
Little girl: Tommy do you see the grass outside? 
Tommy: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time) 
Little girl Did you see the sky? 
Tommy: Yessssss 
Little Girl: Tommy, do you see the teacher? 
Tommy: Yes 
Little Girl Do you see her brain? 
Tommy: No 

Little Girl: 
Does that mean she doesn't have one?

An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, "Being *so* mischievous, how do you even *expect*
to get into heaven?"

The boy thought it over and said, "Well, I'll just run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For heaven's sake, Jimmy, either come in or stay out!'"
