There's Nothing Like A Good Laugh Friday ~:D

What Fell from the Bible?

A little boy opened the big family Bible.
He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages.
Suddenly something fell out of the Bible.
He picked up the object and looked at it closely.
What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.

"Momma, look what I found," the boy called out.


"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.


With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's underwear!"

Know what God Looks Like?

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew.
She would occasionally walk around to see each child's artwork.
As she came to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.

The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."


The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."


Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing the girl replied,. . . .
"They will in a minute."

Sunday Scripture ~ Lamentations 3:24-26




"The LORD [is] my portion,"
says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"
The LORD [is] good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul [who] seeks Him. [It is] good that [one]
should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD."

There's Nothing Like A Good Laugh Friday ~: D

The Red Wagon

It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco.
The pastor of the church was looking over the Nativity scene when
he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from among the figures.

Immediately he turned and went outside where he saw a little
boy with a red wagon and in the wagon was the figure of the infant of Jesus.


So he walked up the the little boy and said,
"Well, where'd you get Him, my fine friend?


The little boy replied , "I got him from the church."


"And why did you take him?"


The little boy replied,
"Well about a week before Christmas I prayed to the little Lord Jesus and I told him if
he would bring me a red wagon for Christmas I would give him a ride around the block in it."

God, Are You Listening?

A man was walking through a forest pondering life.
He walked, pondered, walked, and pondered.
He felt very close to nature and even close to God.
He felt so close to God that he felt if he spoke God would listen.
So he asked, "God, are you listening?"

And God replied, "Yes my son, I am here."


The man stopped and pondered some more.


He looked towards the sky and said, "God, what is a million years to you?"


God replied, "Well my son, a second to me is like a million years to you."


So the man continued to walk and to ponder... walk and ponder...
Then he looked to the sky again and said, "God, what is a million dollars to you?"


And God replied, "My son, my son...a penny to me is like a million dollars to you.
It means almost nothing to me.
It does not even have a value it is so little."


The man looked down, pondered a bit and then looked up to the sky and said, "God, can I have a million dollars?"


And God replied, "In a second."

The Magic Color Test

Your result for The Magic Color Test...

Red: Chaos and Fury

39% Red!


You scored 39% Red. Yours is not the path of least resistance. It's the path of setting fire to everything in your way. What you lack in endurance, you make up in sheer power. Your energy is attractive, and you're never one to stand by when action is needed. Emotions drive you, and can be destructive if you don't learn to channel them.

Scripture Sunday ~ Philippians 2:3-4




[Let] nothing [be done] through selfish ambition or conceit,
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Let each of you look out not only for his own
interests, but also for the interests of others.

There's Nothing Like A Good Laugh Friday ~ :D

Getting The Pieces Right

A father wanted to read a magazine, but was being pestered by his daughter. To keep her busy, he tore a sheet out of the magazine that had a picture of the world printed on it. He tore the picture into small pieces and said "Here, now go into the other room and see if you can put this picture of the world back together again."

A few minutes goes by and he daughter appears in the room and hands him the picture all correctly fitted together.

The father was surprised and ask her how she was able to fit all those little pieces of the world back together again so quickly.

"Oh.." she said, "On the other side of the paper was a picture of Jesus and once I got Jesus in the right place, then the world came out alright."






The Computer is Down

Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?"

The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains."

"So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.

The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter?"

"No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing."

"In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud."

"So be it," says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.

A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks.

"The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult."

"Why?" asketh the Lord.

"He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota."

It's best to laugh, even when you don't feel like it. Remember, the Joy of the Lord is your strength. When facing an unpleasant situation, realize that if you don't activate your joy, you don't activate God's strength, which is much needed to help you stand on God's word.

I am a Queen's Knight....





Your result for The Chess Mess Test...

The Queen's Knight


The Queen’s Knight is armed with rose-colored glasses. The mundane comes to life and nature becomes expressive of spirit. The interesting thing about this Knight is the ability to switch from fantasy to reality. There are exceptions to the rule, but this is the type that may have had imaginary friends as a youngster. Their stuffed animals also were great companions. The Queen’s Knight will see the good in almost anyone or anything – but their depth of emotion can remain hidden even from themselves. Circumstances tend to reveal sudden responses.



Not all life is rosy and this Knight is not exempt from disappointment or frustration with humanity. They may feel incompetence when dealing with their own ethical values. Things aren’t simply white black, but a grand battle of Good versus Evil. Evil must be reckoned with but Good shall eventually win. It is not that they fight evil, but that they fight for the essence of moral good. Doing something good is quite satisfactory for them and indeed increases their happiness. It is when something is not reciprocated to them that they are saddened and disappointed by others. They learn that others aren’t as self-sacrificing.



The Queen's Knight is dominated by an inner world of intense feeling and deeply rooted ethics. They seek to form their life based on their views. They are highly curious of those around them so are readily accepting of others unless their values are being threatened. They promote insight and understanding amongst others and contribute well thought ideas. They however can be a bit too idealistic.
