Good Morning.


Italian Tomato Garden:

An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey .. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.Dear Pop,Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.
Love,Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

This below was sent to me by my good friend John


Now when it comes to the taking of the emblems every Sunday morning, how should we feel, do we perhaps partake unworthily by not remembering the blood that was shed for us, and so I will tell you a story that may make it more real to us, as to how we should and in what condition of heart we should partake of the emblems each Sunday morning. I have an uncle who was also called Ernest and near to his home there was a river and in this river was a dangerous whirlpool and there were signs up saying, danger, keep away.
'
One day my uncle was walking along this river and he heard shouts for help and he came nearer and he saw three boys in this whirlpool shouting for help, they had got too close, they had done the wrong thing, and young boys are often more courageous than they are wise. My uncle knew that these boys would drown, he knew it was very dangerous for him to go in also but he was a strong swimmer so he went into the water and he saved one boy, but then he heard the screaming of the other two boys so he went in again and he saved another boy but by this time his strength was gone, he was spent but then there was the screaming of the other boy still in the water so he went in again and this time he saved the boy but he himself had no strength to get out so he drowned in the whirlpool.
.
Now when these three boys would go past that spot and saw the whirlpool they would stop and look and have some deep thoughts and that is how we should partake of the emblems remembering the one who gave his life and have deep thoughts.
.
Later the disciples would have passed by the place of the cross and would have had deep thoughts. I hope that at this convention God will be able to give us a new fresh revelation of Jesus so that strength joy and willingness will come with the sight.

Good Morning.

Another one that was too large for my blog.

Always look on the bright side of life!

Used vs. Loved

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions......sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written I LOVE YOU DAD'.

The next day that man committed suicide. . . Anger and Love have no imits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life..... Things are to be used and people are to be loved, But the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved...

During this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind: Things are to be used, but People are to be loved ... Be yourself....This is the only
day we HAVE. Have a nice day. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day! If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you do, you will have ministered to someone. The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you... Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much.

Subject: Good advice from snopes



Advice From Snopes

By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with www.snopes.com and/or www.truthorfiction.com
for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Below is their advice for us.

Advice from Snopes.com 1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on to '10' of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mails addresses to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers.2) Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of E-Mail is, a way to get names and ' cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers - - to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes.You can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them; you will be providing a service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam E-Mails in the future!If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM!Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listings regardless how inviting they might sound!You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT in the long run. Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's don't make it easy for them!Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition.

I am going to use the above more often/ DAD

ENTRY # NINETY SEVEN

Good Morning.

Here is another one of those long but good things that I slip in over here so we won't miss them. DAD.


There was a Scottish painter named Smokey Macgregor who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often thinned down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.

As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration job in Ellesmere Port on the outside of one of their biggest buildings... Smokey put in a bid, and, because his price was so low, he got the job. So he set about erecting the scaffolding and setting up the planks, and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with turpentine..

Well, Smokey was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly completed, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, the sky opened, and the rain poured down washing the thinned paint from all over the church and knocking Smokey clear off the scaffold to land on the lawn among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint..

Smokey was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he got down on his knees and cried: "Oh, God, Oh God, forgive me; what should I do?" And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke.. (you're going to love this)

"Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!"

ENTRY # NINETY SIX

Good Morning.

Here is another article that is two long for my regulag blog. I thought that it was to good to loose. Try to read it if you can find the time.

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."

No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage... and old cars, and children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, family and aging parents and grandparents.We keep them because they are worth it...... because we are worth it.Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce.

There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.Life is important. We only have one.We only have one mom, one dad, one unique brother or sister or friend. I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'!

I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up.Do all your friends know you love them?I was thinking....

I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

Let every one of your friends and family know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.And just in case GOD calls me home . . . I LOVE YA !:-)Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.
