Wednesday!!!!

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him.

She finally overtook him at the checkout, And she turned

to him and said, “I hope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you look so much like my late son.”

He answered, “That’s okay.”

“I know it’s silly, but if you’d call out “Good bye, Mom”

as I leave the store, It would make me feel so happy.”

She then went through the checkout, And as she was on

her way out of the store, The man called out, “Goodbye, Mom.”

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him.

Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine Into someone’s day, he went to pay for his Groceries.

“That comes to $121..85,” said the clerk.

“How come so much … I only bought 5 items..”

The clerk replied, “Yeah, but your Mother said
You’d be paying for her things, too.”


Don’t trust little Old Ladies!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!
             

Tuesday!!!!

Not trying to force religion or anything on anyone, but I jsut thought this joke was cute!!!!! 

Jesus versus Satan

This is one of the best clean jokes I’ve seen in awhile!


Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was
better on the computer.

 

They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, ‘THAT’S IT! I have had enough.
I am going to
set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those
results, I will judge who does the better job.’

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was
faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning
suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured,
and, of course, the power went off.

    Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

            Jesus just sighed.
                 Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them  
     restarted their computers. 

Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
It’s gone! It’s all GONE! ‘I lost everything when the power
went out!’

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files
from the past two hours of work.

Satan observed this and became irate.

‘Wait!’ he screamed. ‘That’s not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don’t have any?’

         God just shrugged and said, 

‘JESUS SAVES’

What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . …
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. From the mouth of babes.


A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ‘What does love mean?’

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
See what you think:



‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.  So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.’

Rebecca- age 8



‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.   You just know that your name is safe in their mouth’

Billy - age 4



‘Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.’

Karl - age 5



‘Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.’

Chrissy - age 6



‘Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.’

Terri - age 4



‘Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.’

Danny - age 7



‘Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss’

Emily - age 8



‘Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.’

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)



‘If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,’

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka’s on this planet)



‘Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.’

Noelle - age 7



‘Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.’

Tommy - age 6



‘During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.’
Cindy - age 8



‘My mommy loves me more than anybody.  You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.’

Clare - age 6



‘Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’

Elaine-age 5



‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.’

Chris - age 7



‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’

Mary Ann - age 4



‘I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.’

Lauren - age 4



‘When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’ (what an image)

Karen - age 7



‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross.’

Mark - age 6



‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.’

Jessica - age 8



And the final one

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
‘Nothing, I just helped him cry’

and last but not least and glad there is picture proof, me dancing!! I am soooo not a dancer!!!

Voting Joke!!!

THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES! NOT ONLY THAT, it is POLITICALLY CORRECT!!…….and so timely!

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the senator.

“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”

“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the senator.

“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises ..

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St.

Peter

is waiting for him.

“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in

heaven. Now choose your eternity.”

The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above…

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”

The devil looks at him, smiles and says…….

“Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.”

Thursday!!!

Thought I would share an email I received yesterday that was very inspiring. With my borther missing my wedding becuase he is serving overseas, it realy makes me feel good to know that there are people out there who really look out for our military family when we can’t be there for them ourselves for whatever reason!!!

The Sack Lunch

 I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned  seat. It was going to be a long flight. “I’m glad I have a good book to  read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,” I thought.

 Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all  the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a
conversation.  “Where are you headed?” I asked the soldier seated nearest to me.

 ”
Chicago- to Great LakesBase. We’ll be there for two weeks for special  training, and then we’re being deployed to
Iraq” After flying for about
 an  hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five  dollars. It would be several hours before we reached
Chicago, and I quickly  decided a lunch would help pass the time.

 As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he  planned to buy lunch. “No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack
 lunch. Probably wouldn’t be worth five bucks. I’ll wait till we get to 
Chicago

 His friend agreed. I looked around at the other soldiers. None were  buying  lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant  a  fifty dollar bill. “Take a lunch to all those soldiers.” She grabbed my arms  and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. “My son  was a soldier in
Iraq; it’s almost like you are doing it for him.”

 Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were  seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, “Which do you like best - beef or  chicken?”

 ”Chicken,” I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the  front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first
 class. “This is your   thanks.” After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane,  heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. “I saw what you did. I want to  be part of it. Here, take this.” He handed me twenty-five dollars.

 Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down  the  aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking  for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the  plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand, an said,  “I want to shake your hand.”

 Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain’s hand. With a  booming voice he said, “I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once,  someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.” I was  embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.

 Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A  man  who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand,
 wanting  to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.

 When we landed in ChicagoI gathered my belongings and started to deplane.  Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put  something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word.  Another twenty-five dollars!

 Soon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip  to  the base. I walked over to them and handed them
 seventy-five dollars. It will take you some time to reach the base. It will  be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.”

 Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow  travelers. As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their
 safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I  could  only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little…

Have a great day!!!!!

I’m back!!!!

So I am finally back. Sorry I have been gone so long!!! It got relaly frustrating at the end there with the wedding and all. It is the little thinkgs that jsut get overwhelming!!  But it was great, honeymoon was great and now I am back int he swing of things!!

I will post some wedding pictures as soon as I get them, my photographer says it should be this weekend, but they are are just the rough drafts, but I jsut want to see them!!!

Okay so here are a couple of jokes since I have been away for a while!!!

 This one is priceless…
   A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!!!!

   
   A Minneapolis couple decided to go to
Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

   Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to
Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

   The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
   Meanwhile, somewhere in
Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

   The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from
relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:    

   

   To: My Loving Wife
   Subject: I’ve Arrived
   Date: October 16, 2005
   I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers
   here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have been checked                    in. I’ve seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
   Looking forward to seeing you then!!!!
   Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
   
   P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!

NEBRASKA BLONDES

Three Blondes were all applying for the last available position on the NEBRASKA Highway Patrol. The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, ‘So y’all want to be cops, huh?’

The blondes all nodded.

The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it and pulled out a picture, and said, ‘To be a detective, you have to be able to detect.

You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities such as scars and so forth.’

So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.

Now,’ he said, ‘did you notice any distinguishing features about this man?’

The blonde immediately said, ‘Yes, I did. He has only one eye!’

The detective shook his head and said, ‘Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It’s a profile of his face!

You’re dismissed!’

The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.

The detective then turned to the second blonde, said, ‘What about you?

Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?’

‘Yes! He only has one ear!’

The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, ‘Didn’t you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man’s face! Of course you can only see one ear!! You’re excused too!’

The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.

The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said, ‘This is probably a waste of time, but… ‘He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, ‘All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?’

The blonde said, ‘I sure did. This man wears contact lenses.’

The detective frowned, took another look at the picture and began looking at some of the papers in the folder.

He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled expression and said, ‘You’re absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?’

The blonde rolled her eyes and said,

‘Well, Helloooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can’t wear glasses.’

and lastly…………………….

 

A little boy wanted $100.00 very

badly and prayed for weeks, but

nothing happened.


   
  
 
Then he decided to write

God a letter requesting

the $100.00. 

 
When
The postal authorities

received the letter to
 

 
God, USA, they decided

to send it to the

President.

 
The president was so

amused that he

instructed his secretary

to send the little boy a

$5.00 bill.

 
The president thought

this would appear to be a

lot of money to a little

boy.

 
The little boy was

delighted with the $5.00

bill and sat down to write

a thank-you note to God,

which read:

 Dear God: Thank you

very much for sending

 the money. However, I

noticed that for some

reason you sent it

through

Washington DC., and

those assholes deducted

$95.00 in taxes. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

Monday!!!!

Sorry I have been MIA!!! With the wedding I jsut don’t ahve the time I had before!!! After October thinkgs should be back to normal!!!

This is more inspiring than a joke, sjut becuase well these daysI am sooo stressed, I need a laugh btu sometimes I need that reminder, don’t sweat the small stuff………..and it is all small stuff kinda thing!!!

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target..

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day

The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in ‘Mom let’s run through the rain,’ she said.

‘What?’ Mom asked.

‘Lets run through the rain!’ She repeated.

‘No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit,’ Mom replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: ‘Mom, let’s run through the rain.’

‘We’ll get soaked if we do,’ Mom said.

‘No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,’ the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom’s arm.

This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?

‘Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!’

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn’t hear anything but the rain.. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.

Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child’s life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

‘Honey, you are absolutely right. Let’s run through the rain. If GOD let’s us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing,’ Mom said.

Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.

And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories…So, don’t forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.
