How Dinosaurs Became Extinct

 

 

  

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?



Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
 Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

 

THIS IS A CEILING MURAL IN A SMOKER'S LOUNGE.


 

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do. 

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway;


it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and 
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally 
looked down the well.. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel 
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and
happily trotted off! 

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds 
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out
of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. 





 

While shopping in a food store, two nuns happened to pass by the beer.
The first nun said it would be nice to enjoy a beer.

The second nun answered that, indeed, it would be very nice to have one,
but that she wouldn't feel comfortable about buying it. The first nun replied
that she could handle that without a problem. So, she picked up a six-pack and
took it to the cashier. The cashier had a surprised look on his face,
so the nun said, "We use beer for washing our hair; a sort of shampoo, if you will."
Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter, pulled out
a package of pretzel sticks and placed them in the bag with the beer.

He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled, and said, "The curlers are on the house."



 

A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when
suddenly the sky cleared above his head and, in a booming voice, the
Lord said,

    'Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will
grant you one wish.'
   
    The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to  Hawaii  so I
can ride over anytime I want.'
   
    The Lord said, 'Your request is materialistic. Think of the
enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required
reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would
take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it,
but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a
little more time and think of something that could possibly help
mankind.'
   
    The biker thought abo! ! ut it for a long time. Finally, he said,
'Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand women; I want to know
how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent
    treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's
wrong, why she snaps and complains when I try to help, and how I can
make a woman truly happy.'
   
    The Lord replied, 'You want two lanes or four lanes on that
bridge?'

One Sunday in a  Midwest City ,
a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour.
The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew
but were losing the battle.
   Finally, the father picked the little fellow up
and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out.
     Just before reaching the safety of the foyer,
the little one called loudly to the congregation,
"Pray for me! Pray for me!"  

 

Prayer:
Don't give God instructions, just report for duty!

God doesn't call the qualified,
He qualifies the called.

Quit griping about your church;
If it was perfect, you couldn't belong.

I don't know why some people change churches;
What difference does it make which one you stay home from?


 

Matthew 18:20

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20

Does this count?
