This is not a joke but something to think about
$20.00
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by:
holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
‘Who would like this $20 bill?’Hands started going up.
He said, ‘I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.He then asked, ‘Who still wants it?’
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, ‘What if I do this?’
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.‘Now, who still wants it?’
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we
make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and
WHOSE WE ARE.You are special – Don’t EVER forget it.’
If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to,
or the hope that it can bring.
Count your blessings, not your problems.October 15, 2007 at 10:24 pm #599858Time for a little fun:

Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management
technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The
funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out
over a crystal clear stream.2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running
water.3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a
cascade
of serenity.7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face
of the person you are holding underwater.~~~See? It really does work. You’re smiling already~~~

October 17, 2007 at 8:25 pm #599864JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: “Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot andone for cold milk?”
MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn’t remember any more. Melanie said, “If you don’t remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to
six.”STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. “I love you so much that when you die I’m going to bury you outside my bedroom window.”
BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she’d have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: “How does it know it’s me?”
SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. “Please don’t give me this juice again,” she said, “It makes my teeth cough.”
DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: “How much do I cost?”
MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: “Why is he whispering in her mouth?”
CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, “I don’t know what’ll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?”
JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: “The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.” Concerned, James asked: “What
happened to the flea?”TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, “Why doesn’t your skin fit your face?”
The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget…. this particular Sunday sermon…
“Dear Lord,” the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his up turned face. “Without you, we are but dust…” He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, “Mom, what is butt dust?”
October 18, 2007 at 2:24 am #599865WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program. The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.” Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, “If you catch me you can have me”. Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program, “Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program.” “Absolutely,” he replies, “I haven’t felt this good in years.” The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, “If I catch you, your ass is mine.”
He lost 63 pounds that week 😀
October 18, 2007 at 2:25 am #599866Oh, that’s bad 😆 😆
October 18, 2007 at 2:41 am #599867Nice gift
Hello, Is this the RCMP?’
‘Yes! What do you want?’
‘I’m calling to report my neighbour, Joe Two Weasels! He’s hiding marijuana
in his firewood.’‘Thank you very much for the call sir.’
The next day the RCMP descended on Joe’s house. They searched the shed where the firewood was kept. Using axes they busted open every piece of wood, but found no marijuana. They swore at Joe and left.
The phone rang at Joe’s house.
‘Hey Joe! Did the RCMP come?’
‘Yah!’
‘Did they chop your firewood?’
‘Yah!’
‘Happy Birthday Cuzin!!!’

Cleaning Poem
I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I’d been ‘computering’ ,
And I had to answer “yes.”He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up…
The smudges off my mouse.I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick…
I was just admiring my work..
I didn’t mean to ‘click.’But click, I did, and oops I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into.
I was into it all night.<>Nothing’s changed except my mouse
It’s very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess…
While I sit here on my hiney.October 29, 2007 at 4:50 am #599870😆 😆 😆
